Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks, then drain any excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.
Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the hashbrowns are golden brown and the bites are cooked through.
Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, try adding some diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the mix. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with a plant-based sausage or sautéed mushrooms. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack for an extra kick or Swiss for a milder flavor. Feel free to add in other vegetables like bell peppers or shredded zucchini for added nutrition.
