Egg Cups

We have a homestead, and one of the animals we have are chickens. So, we have a lot of farm fresh eggs. One of my favorite and fun ways I like to make eggs are these hash brown egg cups.

Egg cups are super easy to make, and you can customize them by adding your favorite omelet style fillings. The addition of a tater tot crust packs a big breakfast taste into a muffin sized cup.

Hash Brown Egg Cups are super easy to make, and I bet you already have everything you need in your fridge. All you need are eggs, milk, tater tots, and your favorite fillings.

I always have a bag of tater tots in my freezer, don’t you?  These can be made up ahead of time and kept in the fridge or freezer.

  1. I used 4 Trader Joe’s rectangular hash brown Pattie’s and they worked perfect. I left out the milk since husband can’t have dairy. Sill turned out great even with no substitution. Also love how you can put anything additional in these.

  2. I have made this recipe 5 or six times. LOVE IT! They freeze very well. I used Kroger tater rounds this time and it did not come out as well but still okay. Stick with tater tots. Thanks for the recipe 😘
