This is a great recipe. I used bacon bits instead of ham and only a small touch of butter on top of the potatoes and no more. I also used about 1/4 of a whole potato too, instead of using the small potatoes. I passed the recipe to my daughter, and I will use it again. I also froze a few to enjoy at another time.

I loved this recipe. I use Parmesan cheese instead of mozzarella. I added two extra eggs because I like a little more egg in my egg bites. I am going to make them again and freeze them for later.Oh and I added salt and pepper.
Rose Boyer
I make these all the time, but use different ingredients I use bacon bits or ham bits Lots of shredded cheese And add peppers and onions as well

Reading all the comments was a help. This is really a recipe one can play with. I diced the potatoes and left out the tomato. Definitely added salt and pepper. I used 7 jumbo eggs. I had Colby jack cheese on hand and used that. I made this for men’s Bible study and it was huge hit.

The recipe was very easy for me and cathartic. I read one of the comments that shared that they was a little bland but I always season whatever I prepare because everyone has a different seasoning hand…salt and pepper is just not enough for my or my family’s taste. ☺️

This would be perfect with leftover taco meat and the chopped onions, tomatoes and avocado left from tacos then add Mexican or pepper Jack cheese. I will make these next time we have tacos!
Elizabeth Morgan
I parboiled the potatoes then added egg with peppers and ham cheese . They were delicious.

Great base recipe with endless variation possibilities. I made some adjustments after reading the reviews and they turned out great! We were having friends stay with us so I made these ahead of time and we just heated them in the microwave 40s in the morning. – I have teflon coated muffin pans so eliminated the cooking spray and butter. – Used frozen hash brown potatoes but thawed/warmed them up before baking. – Used breakfast sausage in half and ham in the other; both tasted great. – Sautéed mushrooms with garlic and salt. I would do this with any veggie. – 8 eggs is more than enough; 10 not needed – Seasoned eggs with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, Lawry’s seasoned salt. Probably 1/2 tsp each but added a little at a time to taste. – Layered ingredients into muffin tin: potatoes, meat, mushrooms; then ladle 1/4 cup egg mixture. Top with chives and cheese. – Since the hash brown potatoes are already cooked, skip the first 5 min. bake. Just bake the pans at 350 for 20 min – they turned out perfect.

Excellent! Very flexible recipe. I used cooked sausage patties instead of ham, omitted spinach, and added mushrooms. I tried some with shredded hash brown potatoes & some with red potatoes sliced about 1/8-1/4″. I also tried different cheeses on top (Mozzarella, Cheddar, and American). We preferred the ones with the potato slices and Cheddar cheese. I prepared the eggs like I normally do for scrambling (Half ‘n’ Half, S&P, basil, dill). I did not mix the vegetables, but sprinkled some of each into each cup. Needed fewer eggs, and less tomato and bell pepper. Prep time was long, but worth it. After refrigerating, I reheated for 40 sec. each in microwave. These are a keeper! I’m sure the recipe would be just as good if made without my changes. This recipe can easily be adapted to your pantry and preferences. Thanks for the recipe.

My mom made omelettes quite often for the family, but I never liked them, so as an adult I didn’t even try them. I tried this on a whim and loved it. I think the cheese and potato was perfect.
Laura Sanchez
I added random ingredients thar I had in my fridge and omitted meat altogether. I added heavy whipping cream in my eggs and they came out perfect
Chelsea Smith
It was easy and tasty
Kyle Price
These are so easy and tastes great. I have a question can cupcake liners be used in the muffin tins? It would make clean up a lot easier. I’m going to try it and see. Thanks for this easy recipe.

Excellent
Faith Cervantes
I added some different ingredients .I don’t like peppers& onions! And I went with Sausage. It was, awesome! I fresh sealed them Individually, great as, a, snack& Sooo easy! Thank you
Robert Collins
Meh. I made this without the potatoes in the bottom. Its…okay. I found it a little bland. I may try again with some seasonings. Perhaps some crushed garlic mixed in with the eggs. Maybe spiced sausage instead of ham. Sadly underwhelmed.
Holly Allison
Made it as is. Loved it convenient.

I make these in mini muffin tin. Use shredded potatoes or a little cooked rice. Lots of sautéed veges & bacon or ham or sausage. The girls in y office love them. So easy.
Kelsey Bailey MD
Did this and was excellent. Used a slice of Canadian bacon on the bottom then added egg with mushroom cheese and jalapeños. Was great.
Kayla Mclaughlin
These are a great, handy, on the go breakfast. This is the first recipe I tried with a thinly sliced potato on the bottom and it quite frankly didn’t work – fell out of each one. I added leftover sausage, green onion, mushrooms and a bit of shredded cheddar to mine. I think shredded potato would work, but the sliced potato on the bottom was a fail for me.

Nice easy recipe to follow and can switch or add whatever fillings I liked.
