Get Your Bite On

Hash Brown Bites Appetizer

 Christmas is only a few days away and that means it's time to start baking and preparing for family get-togethers. Appetizers and desserts are at the top of the list for my favorite holiday treats. I wanted to make something easy and delicious, and that's when I came across this recipe for Hash Brown Bites.
They are fairly simple, yet packed with flavor. Red and green peppers add that holiday flair. These little things are really good and they're sure to be loved by many. My husband tends to be a picky eater and I couldn't keep him away from these. 

Hash Brown Bites


1 lb frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed (in a bag in the french fry section)
2 tbsp butter melted
1/2 cup tomatoes diced
1/2 cup each of red and green peppers, diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Hash Brown Bites Appetizer4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray two mini-muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.  Spread thawed potatoes onto paper towels to absorb excess water. Mix potatoes with melted butter and scoop 2 tablespoons into each muffin cup. Pack mixture against sides. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and cool.  Place the tomatoes, peppers and cheese into cooled hash brown cups. Sprinkle the bacon crumble on top of the veggies. Mix eggs and pepper, then pour evenly over ingredients in each cup. You can also use a spoon to scoop a few spoonfuls of the egg into each cup. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until eggs are firm. Remove from muffin tins. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat when ready to eat.


There you have it.  A simple and delicious appetizer to enjoy this holiday season (or anytime of year).  I wish you and your family a safe, happy, and wonderful holiday. Thanks for helping me grow in 2014 and I look forward to an amazing 2015. Take care!
NB

    Oh yummy. And simple, which they have to be because I hate cooking. And I'm sick and my mom wrote me a note. No, I honestly tried these today and they were great. I must admit I skipped the peppers. I think they would make a great taste addition, but I truly am nursing an illness and I didn't think I could handle them.

      I love that it dresses up those average hash browns. Extra veggies and a little protein are always good!
