Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine thawed shredded hash browns, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and half the crumbled bacon. Mix well.
  3. Evenly distribute hash brown mixture among muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides to form nests.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until edges are golden and crispy.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and chopped green onions until blended.
  6. Remove the hash brown nests from the oven and fill each with the egg mixture, about 3/4 full.
  7. Top each muffin with remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, until eggs are set and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Remove muffins from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes, then gently pop them out and serve warm.
