Ingredients

  • 20 ounces frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 pound ground pork breakfast sausage, browned and drained
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection or conventional oven to 400°F (200°C) and thoroughly grease a 24-count mini-muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place thawed hash browns in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove all excess moisture to ensure maximum crispness.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dried hash browns, cooked sausage crumbles, shredded cheese, beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Incorporate the mixture manually until the egg is evenly distributed as a binding agent.
  • Distribute the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact the ingredients.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior surface is golden brown and crispy.
  • Rest the bites in the pan for 5 minutes to allow the structure to set before extracting with an offset spatula.
