Ingredients
– 1/2 cup diced onion (yellow or white)
– 1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon Gold recommended; russet or red potatoes also work)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup heavy cream (can substitute half-and-half or whole milk for lighter texture)
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy-free alternative available)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild; other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby Jack are alternatives)
– 1 teaspoon salt (divided to season potatoes and egg mixture)
– Black pepper to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
– cooked bacon (optional)
– sausage (optional)
– ham (optional)
– cottage cheese (optional)
– bell peppers (optional)
– spinach (optional)
– mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
1- Sauté diced onion and potatoes in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Season with half the salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender, then remove from heat and let cool.
2- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
3- In a bowl, whisk 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt together until well combined.
4- Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives, and the cooled potato and onion mixture to the egg base. Mix everything well and adjust seasoning if needed for the best flavor.
5- Grease a muffin tin or brownie cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal later.
6- Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the center is set.
7- Once done, serve warm to enjoy the fresh, creamy texture at its peak.
