Description

These irresistible crispy hashbrown sausage bites are perfect for brunch or as a tasty appetizer. Made with shredded hash browns, savory breakfast sausage, sharp cheddar cheese, and a blend of spices, they bake up golden and crispy on the edges, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns (thawed and patted dry)
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Cooking

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bites.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the thawed and patted dry hash browns, cooked and crumbled sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined. This mixture will form the base of your bites.
  3. Fill the muffin tin: Scoop approximately one heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press down slightly on each to pack the mixture firmly, which helps to hold their shape while baking.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy on the edges, indicating they are cooked through and perfectly crispy.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the bites to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, substitute spicy sausage or add finely chopped bell peppers or green onions to the mixture.
  • These bites can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven before serving, making them ideal for brunches or parties.
  • If you want a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all-purpose flour instead.
