Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Coat a six-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly divide the hash browns among the muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until tender. Add the garlic and sausage; cook for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat; stir in the sour cream.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg substitute with the salt and black pepper, then pour it evenly into the potato-lined muffin cups. Top each cup with some of the sausage mixture, bacon, and cheese.
  4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Serve immediately, or freeze for later.

Have not tried yet but wanted to ask if paper or foil cups could be used for this recipe?

Love this recipe! As with all recipies I usually ad-lib a bit, this one was no different. Instead of turkey sausage I just browned ground turkey, I added red pepper flakes, garlic and onion powder and black pepper, I used a splash of hot sauce and plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I added chopped onions and green pepper (more veg) next time I might add spinach and feta cheese instead...One other change I made is I made it frittata style in a pie plate. This is so delicious, my husband didn't even scoff over ground turkey! ????
