On weekends I usually try to make something fun to eat for my family. Even though we both work from home, it feels like we never have time during the week to make a fun breakfast. Normally it is usually a bagel or cereal, which is far from fun in my opinion. Recently I was introduced to a yummy breakfast recipe that is super easy to make, and great for those weekends where you have things planned but want to have a hot breakfast at the table. When I saw how easy this recipe was, I honestly couldn’t believe it, especially since it is similar to breakfast sandwiches sold at certain restaurants. To say the least, we were impressed with this simple breakfast sandwich and couldn’t wait to share it with our readers!
Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!
- 4 cups shredded hash browns, thawed
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 8 eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
- Preheat the oven to 400˚.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter and hash browns. Mix with salt and pepper.
- Grease the muffin tin you want to use for these muffins.
- Fill each of the cups in the muffin tin ¾ of the way full with hash browns. Now, press down the hash browns as tightly as you can in each of the cups.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until they are starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 350˚.
- Take half of the shredded cheese and sausage crumbles. Sprinkle it on the cups.
- Whisk the eggs together and fill the cups until almost full.
- Top with the second half of cheese and sausage.
- Bake until eggs are set (approx. 20-25 minutes). Serve warm.
- These muffins are freezer friendly. Just store in the freezer once cooled. Microwave before serving.

Well this will come in handy, I’m so scattered I bought 20 eggs (for baking) TWICE this week..that is a ton of eggs!
I am so going to make these,they look so good
This recipe sounds good. You took all of the breakfast favorites and rolled it all into one. It can be eaten on the way out the door, if need be.

Looks really good and simple to make, will be trying this one out. thanks
I am sorry does this make 12?
Oh wow these look amazing.. I definitely will have to make this for breakfast on the weekends for my husband. He’ll love me forever!
Sounds like a easy breakfast…..
I would love to try this recipe,it has all the things I like in it
These sound great and thank you for sharing this yummy recipe with us.
huh. really interesting to use the hashbrowns as a way of keeping the eggs and sausage together. this would also probably work with bacon instead of sausage. It sounds like a nice recipe. I’ll have to give it a try.
These sound delicious! My kids would like them.
Thanks for the recipe. One batch of these would last my daughter and I all week for breakfast.
This sounds delish for breakfast and I like that it’s a muffin.
I recently started a new job that requires 5 am wake-up and have no appetite or time fir breakfast. This is exactly what I have been needing.
How neat and easy this recipe sounds, I have printed it an dam going to try it after a trip to the grocery store this weekend, I like that it includes, the sausage and taters and eggs all together, I think this would also be great for Christmas Morning, and could be baked ahead, and then rewarmed, thank you
This looks like a good way to start your day. Perfect for grab and go.
this is a recipe perfect for hubby & I. Thanks
Those muffins look delicious. I can’t cook but if I could I would definitely try the recipe.
These look delicious. I’ve been looking for some new recipes for Christmas morning!
This looks so simple and yummy. Great make-ahead breakfast!
My daughter is a very picky eater. Breakfast is her favorite meal. Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe that she will actually eat!
Looks really good and easy to fix.
This brought my old memories back. 3 months ago I visited my parents on holiday and my mom made these. Man they were delicious! Now I’m gonna make them myself.
I love the idea of savory breakfast muffins. I can’t wait to make these!
This is a great idea. It makes a quick and easy breakfast.
I am looking forward to fixing this recipe.
Merry Christmas Everyone
These look and sound yummy. These would be great to make ahead and have them all week long for a grab and go. Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! It would be great for breakfast Christmas morning.
I love muffins and these sound easy to make.
OMG! I absolutely LOVE this recipe! I presume you could also use bacon to make these as well! This is a terrific breakfast idea! I’m sure that everyone will love them! During the week, my husband and I generally do not eat breakfast, only coffee. The kids will usually have toast and juice or cereal and fruit. When they are running late for school, which is getting to be an awful lot lately (and that was before Christmas break!), I make sure they grab a power bar or something on the way out the door! So, serving this recipe would be a treat for all of us! My printer is broken (again!) so, I’m going to write this recipe down and as soon as I get ahold of some hash browns, I’m making these! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us! I really appreciate it! Thanks again, Michele 🙂
Yum! These look perfect for breakfast and fairly simple to make too. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the recipe!!!^_^
I love muffins and these look so good. It is something quick and easy you can have for breakfast. I love having eggs and sausage for breakfast so these muffins are a great way to have them.
