This brunch recipe idea is perfect to serve to overnight guests.  The high protein bacon, eggs, cheese and potato brunch cups can be warmed easily if the guests wake up at different times.

An egg fits perfectly in each cup in the muffin tin on a bed of hash browns.  Sprinkling the potato and egg combination with bacon and cheese makes a great protein-packed breakfast or brunch recipe!

Brunch Egg in Muffin Cups

We love bacon and eggs for breakfast.  Potatoes are a favorite to mix in any meal of the day.  These bacon and egg cups are similar to our Sausage and Hashbrown Casserole in that they give us all of our favorite breakfast foods in one bite.

A friend shared this recipe with us.  We make it when we have guests over, which is perfect for people who wake up to eat at different times.  Of course, this tastes great warm, but it also tastes great warmed up.  We need versatile food like this for a casual brunch or breakfast.

It had never occurred to us that an egg (one of our favorite breakfast items) would fit perfectly into a muffin tin like this with our other favorite breakfast items.  We love serving these with Oatmeal Waffles.

High Protein Snack Idea

There are a couple of other things we like about this recipe, as farmers, we raise or know people that raise all of the ingredients!  Secondly, my husband popped in one morning and heated up a couple of these for a portable snack to give him the power to finish up his chores with the animals before running errands to pick-up farm supplies.  We all enjoyed these bacon, eggs, cheese and potato brunch cups!

We might try these brunch cups next time with scrambled eggs.  Either way, they are delicious!

Here is another snack idea with bacon that our family enjoys, Bacon and Cheese Quesadillas.  We hope you enjoy these recipes with bacon as much as we do!
