and prepare 12 regular muffin cups with foil or silicone liners.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add olive oil and onions, then add potatoes.
3. Add salt and pepper and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
4. Stir in corned beef and divide mixture among the cups, pressing down into the bottoms.
5. Place contents of 1 egg on top of each cup, and bake for 12 minutes, until whites are set.
This recipe calls for sliced deli corned beef, but if you happen to have leftover whole corned beef, you can use that. This recipe is a great way to use up corned beef leftovers from St. Patrick’s Day.
