Ingredients
6 large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Tabasco (or another strong hot sauce), to taste
Flaky salt, to taste
8 frozen hash brown patties
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Line a cake pan with parchment paper. Separate eggs, placing yolks in the prepared pan and saving whites for another use.
- Place a steaming rack inside a large pot or skillet with a few inches of water. Set the cake pan on the rack, cover, and steam yolks over medium-low heat until cooked through, 10–15 minutes.
- Transfer yolks to a bowl and let cool. Mash with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend with a stick blender until smooth, adding a little water if too thick. Adjust seasoning with Tabasco. Chill mixture until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place frozen hash brown patties on a baking sheet and warm for 5–10 minutes until softened but not crispy.
- Break each patty into thirds and press into the wells of a mini muffin pan to form cups. Press with your thumb to create a dip in each.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Pipe or spoon the chilled yolk mixture into each potato cup.
- Garnish with chopped chives, smoked paprika, and a pinch of flaky salt before serving.
Notes
- Top with crispy bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Add dill or parsley for a fresh herb twist.
- Use chipotle hot sauce for smoky heat.
- Sweet potato hash browns make a slightly sweeter version.
- Keep cups and filling separate until serving for best texture.
