Mix melted butter with potatoes. Firmly press potatoes into bottom and up sides of muffin tins to form crust of quiche. (I pressed the bottom of a glass into the potatoes to start forming basket).
Bake 30-35 minutes, or until lightly browned.
REDUCE temperature to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle sausage & cheeses evenly into hash brown cups.
In small bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Pour over sausage and cheeses. Bake 30 minutes or until puffed and set.

These are delicious! I only needed two portions, so I used two ramekins, and that worked perfectly. I love that this would work for a crowd too, though. I used a spicy sausage, since that's what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing! Oh - and the amount of half and half is missing from the ingredient list. I eyeballed it and used about 1 Tablespoon for the two servings I made, and it worked nicely.
