Drescription

Cheesy Breakfast Cups are savory, bite-sized egg muffins loaded with melted cheese, veggies, and meats. Baked to golden perfection, they’re an easy, delicious grab-and-go breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 pound frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 6 large eggs plus 2 large egg whites
  • 6 slices provolone, 3 slices roughly chopped, 3 slices quartered
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place the thawed hash browns in a large bowl. Add the butter, thyme, 2 egg whites, chopped provolone and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Evenly divide the potato mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Firmly press the potatoes into the bottoms and up the sides of each cup. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes.
  3. Place the zucchini rounds into the bottoms of each baked cup. Cover each with 2 pieces of provolone. Bake until the zucchini is softened and the provolone melts, an additional 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  4. Crack a whole egg into a small bowl, then add it to the top of a baked cup. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Top each cup with mushroom slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 12 minutes more. Loosen from cups with a small knife and serve immediately.

Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)

Bánh mì sandwiches are delicious. I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.
