Cheesy Hashbrown Egg Bites with Bacon

Meal prepping definitely takes some getting used to because it does take a big chunk out of your day, but it’s so worth it when it’s all said and done. I love knowing I have breakfast and lunch prepped and ready to go for the week.  It makes life just a little easier come Monday.

The prep is very minimal for these little bites of potato and egg goodness.  I went with frozen hashbrowns because that’s half the battle right there!  You can definitely cook your own russet potatoes, and peel/grate them if you prefer, but this is a much quicker alternative.

Cheesy Hashbrown Egg Bites with Bacon

All you have to do is mix the hashbrowns, cheese and spices together in a large bowl and transfer straight to the muffin cups. Create little nests using your fingers and pop those suckers in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until hashbrowns have browned and edges have started to crisp.  Remove from the oven, crack an egg into each nest, and cook an additional 7-9 minutes, until egg whites have set.  Top with Bacon bits and chopped green onion and you-are-done.  Woop woop, breakfast is prepped and ready to go for the week.
