Leftover Mashed Potato Recipes are a fantastic way to repurpose your leftovers into a delicious and hearty meal. These mashed potato egg cups combine creamy mashed potatoes with eggs, cheese, and butter, making them a perfect breakfast or brunch dish.
Ingredients for this Leftover Mashed Potato Recipes:
- 16 ounces cooked mashed potatoes
- 5 large eggs, divided
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 4 thin pats unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Sliced green onions or chives, for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 of the eggs, 2 teaspoons of milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the mashed potatoes evenly into the muffin cups (about 2-3 tablespoons per cup). Use the back of a spoon to press them down and form a small well in the center.
- Add butter and cheese: Place one pat of butter in each potato well. Then, sprinkle each with grated Cheddar cheese.
- Add eggs: Carefully crack one of the remaining eggs into each well, on top of the mashed potatoes. Add the egg mixture (from step 2) evenly over the cups, allowing the eggs to settle slightly into the potatoes.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, and yolks are slightly runny or cooked to your liking.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute before removing the cups from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh green onions or chives.
