2 egg cups
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Place hash browns in a kitchen towel. Working over the sink, squeeze and wring out as much water as possible. Transfer the squeezed hash browns to a large bowl and stir in oil and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the muffin cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides of each cup to form a crust. (There should be a solid layer in the bottom of the cup, but it's OK if the hash browns don't go completely up the sides.) Generously coat the hash browns with cooking spray.
  3. Bake the hash-brown nests until golden brown on the bottom and edges, 35 to 45 minutes.
  4. Whisk eggs, milk and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Divide sausage, cheese, bell pepper and onion among the baked hash-brown cups and top with the egg mixture (about 2 tablespoons per cup).
  5. Bake until the egg mixture is set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of each cup a few times to loosen completely, then use the knife to lift them out of the tin.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
  2. In a shallow pan or dish, whisk together the flour, parsley, oregano, pepper and cayenne.
  3. In a separate shallow pan or dish, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. In a third shallow pan or dish stir together the crispbread crumbs and Parmesan. Set the dishes and a large plate in a row, assembly-line fashion. Dip the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture and finally in the crumb mixture, turning to coat at each step and gently shaking off any excess. Using your fingertips gently press the crumb mixture so it adheres to the chicken. Place the chicken on the plate. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  4. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. (Don’t overcrowd; work in batches as needed.) Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the top coating is golden brown, turning once halfway through and lightly spraying with the cooking spray.
