The crispy hash browns are the outer wrapping. The eggs bake up nicely in the center, and the Parmesan cheese and pancetta are sprinkled over the tops for that bit of luscious saltiness. This recipe makes four egg cups. Double the recipe for more to enjoy or serve.
If you’d like, add in your favorite mix-ins like spinach or mushrooms or your favorite cheese. They’re easy to pop in the fridge to enjoy the next day (I had one cold the next morning, but you could microwave them for a handful of seconds), and they’re easy to take on the go with you.
These egg sups would make a great addition to lunch (or brunch), too. Packed and served with a side salad, they’d brighten any mid-day meal.
