Below is a step-by-step guide to preparing these delicious cheesy mashed potato muffins with eggs.

Ingredients

To make about 8–10 muffins, you will need:

For the mashed potato base:

• 3 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or leftover)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the topping:

• 8–10 eggs
• Extra shredded cheese (optional)
• Fresh herbs for garnish

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Muffin Pan

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a standard muffin pan with butter, cooking spray, or oil. This step is important because mashed potatoes can stick easily to the pan if it is not well greased.

Step 2: Prepare the Mashed Potato Mixture

Place the mashed potatoes in a large mixing bowl. If they are cold from the refrigerator, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes so they soften slightly.

Add the following ingredients to the bowl:

• shredded cheddar cheese
• parmesan cheese
• melted butter
• milk or cream
• chopped green onions
• garlic powder

   

• salt and pepper

Mix everything together thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly combined. The cheese should be distributed throughout the potatoes.

This mixture will form the base of the muffins.
