Ingredients

1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded hash browns with a little salt and pepper. Press the hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then stir in cheese and diced vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture into each hash brown crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the egg is set and the hash browns are golden brown.
Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
