My Sicilian Aunt Paulina inspired this fluffy frittata. I remember visiting her garden, picking fresh veggies and watching her cook. Her wild asparagus frittata was my favorite. —Cindy Esposito, Bloomfield, New Jersey

They may look like muffins, but these cuties pack my favorite breakfast all-stars like eggs, hash browns and bacon. Grab one and get munching. —Talon DiMare, Bullhead City, Arizona
Ingredients
1 package (20 ounces) refrigerated Southwest-style shredded hash brown potatoes
6 large eggs
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
10 thick-sliced bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°. Divide potatoes among 12 greased muffin cups; press onto bottoms and up sides to form cups. Bake until light golden brown, 18-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk and salt. In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; cook and stir until eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains. Stir in bacon and 3/4 cup cheese. Spoon into cups; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
Test Kitchen TipsFor extra creamy custard-style eggs, patience is a virtue. Drop your temperature to medium-low, and stir frequently. We love how easy and mess-free it is to cook bacon in the oven. Line a pan with aluminum foil, spread bacon over it and bake until crisp, typically 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
