Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or leftover)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 eggs (plus extra for brushing, optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 4–6 small eggs for topping (one per muffin)
- Fresh herbs, chopped (optional, for garnish)
How to Make Cheesy Mashed Potato Muffins with Eggs
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix the Mashed Potato Base
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, melted butter, 2 eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Fill the Muffin Cups
Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
4. Add the Eggs
Carefully crack a small egg into the center of each potato cup. The egg will bake right on top, creating a rich, sunny center.
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the mashed potato muffins are golden and the egg whites are set (yolks can remain slightly runny, if desired).
6. Serve
Remove muffins from the tin and let cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh herbs if you like. Serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Mashed Potato Muffins
- Use slightly chilled mashed potatoes – Makes them easier to shape and hold their form.
- Cheese choice – Cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella work beautifully.
- Egg timing – For softer yolks, add eggs later in baking.
- Customize – Add cooked bacon, chives, sautéed onions, or roasted vegetables.
- Freezing – Bake without the egg, freeze, then top with an egg and bake fresh when needed.
