Description

Delicious and crispy baked hashbrown cups filled with zucchini, cheddar cheese, and eggs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (fresh and drained)
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed and drained if needed)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Wash and shred the zucchini. Place it in a clean towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to avoid soggy hashbrown cups.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, thawed hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote a golden crust.
  4. Use a spoon or your hands to firmly pack the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them evenly and pressing down slightly to ensure they hold together.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let the hashbrown cups cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the zucchini as possible to achieve the best texture.
  • These hashbrown cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
