1. Center a rack in oven and heat to 400 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside.
2. Place hash browns in a large bowl and microwave until just softened, about 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir in one egg, the Parmesan, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups, then press mixture into bottom and up sides. Bake until edges begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk remaining six eggs, the half-and-half, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl or large measuring cup. Stir in remaining ingredients.
5. When hash browns are browned, remove from oven and carefully ladle or pour egg mixture into each cup. Continue to bake until tops are puffed and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in muffin tin, then use a butter knife to loosen edges and lift cups out. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
