Breakfast in a Tin

Blog post #203 of 365

This was never meant to be a recipe blog but I don't know about this 365 in 370 plan... I promise to slow down on recipes but this one is so easy and so yummy.

What you'll need:
prepared muffin tin (Decadents use butter but you can use cooking spray if you are watching calories.)
2 cups shredded potatoes (If you're using the frozen stuff let it thaw.)
1/4 shredded cheese (Your favorite or what you have on hand.)
6 eggs
salt and pepper

What you'll do:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Press 1/3 cup of the shredded potatoes into muffin cup pressing thin to "line" the cup (Make sure you buttered your tin already.)
Put a little cheese on top of the potatoes
Crack the egg into the each shell (put the egg in not the shell)
Add salt and pepper and put it into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes

So easy and so good.

Additions if you have the larger muffin tins you can add any vegetables or precooked meats to the egg cups you like. Just put them on top of the shredded potatoes before the addition of the cheese. I love some shredded onion, peppers and chopped mushroom in mine. My son loves a little crumbled bacon. Think omelette in a cup!

Hint if you want to add to your meal and have a larger than 6 cup muffin tin you can mix up a box of muffins (blueberry, cranberry or corn are excellent choices) and add them to the empty muffin cups. Bake as directed above. Fills more of your tummy and tastes great too.

Lighter option - use non stick cooking spray, cut out the cheese and use less potato.
