  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Combine the thawed shredded hash browns with 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the greased muffin cups to create nests.
  3. Bake the hash brown bases for 20 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  4. Whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, salt, and pepper. Add in the remaining cheese and any optional add-ins.
  5. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and pour the egg mixture into each hash brown cup, filling to the top.
  6. Bake the cups for an additional 15–18 minutes until the eggs are set and lightly browned.
  7. Allow the Hash Brown Egg Cups to cool for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edges to release them from the tin.
