Cook 1 pound of Jimmy Dean regular pork sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned.

Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Thaw the 20 oz bag of shredded hash browns before using.

Place 1/4 cup of shredded hash browns into each muffin cup and press down to form a cup shape.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the hash brown cups for 15 minutes.

Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) after removing the hash brown cups.

Add 2 tablespoons of cooked sausage into each hash brown cup and press down.

Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese over the sausage in each cup.

Crack one egg into each cup, allowing the whites to ooze out a little if necessary.

Season with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkling of parsley for color.

Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, checking to ensure the eggs are set before removing.

Let the cups rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
