What are other varieties I could make?

• Vegetarian- omit the ham altogether.
• Different protein-Use bacon or sausage crumbles instead of diced ham.
• Add vegetables such as: tomatoes, onions, spinach, or bell peppers.
• Add cottage cheese for additional protein.

What ingredients do I need to make these Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Muffins?

• Refrigerated hash browns-shredded. You can use frozen but be sure to thaw them out and pat them dry to reduce any excess water. I like to use Simply Potatoes.
• Cubed ham– I use John Morrell 95% fat free diced ham.
• Large eggs
• Kosher salt
• Fresh ground pepper
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder 
• Milk of your choice -any milk will work.
• Reduced fat cheddar cheese-shredded. I use Velveeta Shreds.

How do I make these Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Muffins?

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with non stick cooking spray. 

In a large mixing bowl combine hash browns, eggs, ham, seasonings, and milk. Mix until well blended.

Fold in the reduced fat cheddar cheese. 

Scoop egg and hash-brown mixture into each muffin cup.

Try to make sure each muffin cup has enough of the liquid eggs.

Cook for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Enjoy!
