Ingredients

To make about 8–10 muffins, you’ll need:

For the Potato Muffin Base

• 2 cups mashed potatoes (cooled)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Filling

• 6–8 small eggs (or crack one egg per muffin cavity)
• Extra shredded cheese for topping
• Optional: cooked bacon bits, diced ham, or sautéed vegetables

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a muffin tin well with butter or cooking spray. This is important because the potato mixture can stick if the pan isn’t properly coated.

Step 2: Prepare the Mashed Potato Mixture

In a large mixing bowl combine:

• Mashed potatoes
• Cheddar cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• Melted butter
• One egg
• Milk
• Green onions

Season with salt and black pepper.

Mix everything together until the ingredients form a thick, creamy, and well-combined mixture.

This mixture will form the base of your muffins.
