Notes

Dry the hash browns thoroughly before baking to remove excess moisture and help them become extra crispy. For the best texture, always pre-bake the hash brown crust before adding the filling, as this creates a golden, crunchy base. These breakfast cups are also excellent for meal prep and can be refrigerated or frozen for quick breakfasts throughout the week. Feel free to customize them with your favorite breakfast fillings, such as cheese, bacon, sausage, spinach, peppers, or mushrooms, to create your perfect combination.
