Ingredients
- baking spray with flour to taste
- 1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated shredded hash browns can substitute frozen hash browns, thawed
- 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, divided
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach thawed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small onion minced
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Coat a 12-cup muffin pan with the baking spray with flour.
- In a large bowl, add the hash browns and 2 cups of the cheese and toss to combine.
- Spoon the hash brown mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups in the pan, filling the cavities and then pressing the hash brown mixture up the sides to form a cup shape.
- Bake the hash brown cups until the edges are golden and crispy, about 30 minutes.
- In a clean kitchen towel, add the spinach and squeeze it to remove as much of the liquid as possible.
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Add the onions to the melted butter and cook, while stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Add the spinach to the onion mixture and cook, while stirring occasionally, just until the spinach is wilted and combined with the onions, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the onion mixture from the heat.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the onion mixture into the bottom of each of the hash brown cups.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, the half-and-half, the salt, and the black pepper and whisk until well-combined and the eggs are thoroughly beaten.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into the hash brown cups, covering the onion mixture in each cup.
- Top the egg mixtures evenly with the tomatoes and the remaining cheese.
- Bake until the eggs are set and the hash brown cups are crispy and browned, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the muffin pan from the oven and allow the cups to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Serve warm.
