These scrumptious Ham and Cheese Hash Brown Muffins are like a combination of quiche and hash browns baked together! Serve them for brunch or breakfast. 

Whether you’re planning a holiday brunch, or need a quick and easy breakfast on a busy weekday morning, these scrumptious muffins are it! Not only are they simple to make, but they are extremely versatile!

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!

Made today. Added maple Turkey sausage, peppers and mushrooms, and used herb ‘n garlic laughing cow cheese. Was what I had on hand. Next time will try using muffin cups, as these stuck a bit more than I wanted even in sprayed muffin pan. The Taste test from the pans was delicious! Breakfast tomorrow!

Made these this morning and they are SO good! I have not been able to find refrigerated hash browns in the stores lately (and didn't wanna grate potatoes lol) so I used frozen and it worked well. I did adjust cook time but my adjustments wouldn't help anyone because my oven is very quirky. But it worked and we are so glad we have leftovers of this great stuff in the fridge!
