-
Chop the tomatoes, asparagus and red pepper. Saute in olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes over medium heat.
-
Lightly beat the eggs with a fork and then add salt & pepper, milk and sauteed vegetables. Pour into the hash brown lined muffin tins, about 2 Tablespoons egg mixture for the large muffin tin and about 1 Tablespoon in the mini muffin tin.
-
Cook in 400 oven for 13-15 minutes or until the egg is set, about 8 minutes for the mini muffins.
Recipe Notes
-Hash browns do not crisp well so the texture and taste is more like a soft potato than the crispy hash browns of Waffle House fame. We have tried baking the hash brown lined muffin tins first and then add the egg mixture That did little to help the browning so we don't think it's a necessary step.
