Breakfast recipes and snacks are beginning to trend on my blog this month! I’ve covered fun alternatives for the kids and even the parent on the go but what about a dish that the whole entire family will enjoy? I was provided with the opportunity to create a delicious and unique recipe using Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles. When I think of breakfast there are many mouth watering components that enter my mind. In our home it usually consists of toast, eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, and a big glass of Orange juice to wash it all down. What if you could combine your favorite parts of Breakfast into one tasty meal? Using my own, I created “Breakfast Cups” using cheesy hash browns, eggs, and the oh-so convenient Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles. Since they are fully cooked, this recipe takes less time to make & gives you more time to enjoy!
- 12 whole eggs
- 1 package of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage Crumbles
- 1 package of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)
- 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- salt, pepper & garlic seasoning
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray one 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In large bowl combine shredded hash browns, cheddar cheese, & Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles. Mix in desired amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I used a teaspoon of each.
- Scoop 4 tablespoons of mixture into each muffin tin cup. Use your fingers to pat down the ingredients to the sides and bottom of the cup. Do this until you have created a nest like shape.
- Place in oven for 15-20 minutes or until the hash brown edges are golden brown.
- When crispy, remove the pan and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Crack and place an individual egg into each cup.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt & pepper on top before placing back into the oven. Bake until egg whites are set.
- Remove, scoop out, & enjoy!

Ohh, the cups look cute. I'm most intrigued though, by the fully cooked meat crumbles. What a great way to save time and mess!
