Description
Some breakfasts just know how to hit the spot. These Hashbrown Cups with Bacon are one of those dishes — simple to make, hard to stop eating and guaranteed to draw folks into the kitchen the second they smell what’s cooking. They bake up golden and crispy on the outside, warm and hearty on the inside and packed with the smoky goodness of Kountry Boys Thick-Sliced Original Bacon.
They’re perfect for busy mornings when you want something filling without standing over the stove, slow weekends when you want to treat yourself or any time the crew needs a grab-and-go breakfast that still feels home-cooked. They’re handheld, they’re hearty and they’re downright irresistible.
Filling ’Em Up Texas-Style
Tater tots make the perfect base for these little cups. Once they hit the oven and soften, you can press them into sturdy, crispy shells that hold the good stuff — eggs, bacon and cheese. It’s hard to beat the smell of chopped Kountry Boys Original Bacon hitting a hot pan, and that savory sizzle is exactly what takes these cups from simple to special.
When the cups come out crisp, you load ’em up with scrambled eggs, bits of smoky bacon and freshly shredded cheddar. A quick trip back to the oven melts everything together. Finish with spicy sour cream and a sprinkle of chives and you’ve got a bite-sized breakfast that tastes big.
How to Make ’Em
The beauty of these hashbrown cups is how easy they are to prep. Even if you’ve never made a breakfast cup before, this recipe comes together without any fuss.
As the tots start to soften on their first bake, they’ll press right into shape with a greased shot glass or measuring cup. That second bake gets the edges crisp enough to hold your fillings without falling apart. Once the cups are ready, you can add the scrambled eggs, chopped Kountry Boys Original Bacon and cheddar, then melt everything into one cheesy, smoky, perfectly portioned breakfast.
When they’ve cooled just a touch, they pop out of the muffin tin clean and easy. That’s when you add the scoop of spicy sour cream and chives. They’re neat enough for a breakfast buffet and sturdy enough to hand to someone walking out the door.
Ideas to Make ’Em Your Own
If you want to put a twist on these cups, here are some ideas to play with:
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack for a little heat
- Add diced bell pepper or green chiles to the scrambled eggs
- Mix a little chili crisp or hot sauce into the sour cream
- Serve with salsa, pico or jalapeño ranch on the side
