HASH BROWN EGG AND BACON NESTS + GIVEAWAY!

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450F.
• In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, 1/2 cup cheese, and salt + pepper. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide the hashbrown mixture evenly the muffin cups. Use your fingers to pack them tightly and shape them into nests or press down with a small measuring cup.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges have browned. Remove nests from oven and reduce temperature to 350F
• Crack a small egg into each nest. At this point, add in any additional mix-ins (such as onion, pepper, mushroom, or spinach, optional). Top with a sprinkle of cheese and diced bacon. Bake at 350F until the egg whites set, about, about 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups.
• Mix hash brown potatoes, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Divide mixture between prepared muffin cups and use your fingers to shape potato mixture into nests with hollows in the middle.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are browned on the edges and cheese has melted, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove hash brown nests.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs and water in a bowl until thoroughly combined; season with salt and black pepper. Pour equal amount of egg mixture into each nest; sprinkle with bacon crumbles and 1 teaspoon Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the oven until eggs are set, 13 to 16 minutes. Let cool in pans and remove by sliding a knife between potato crust and muffin cup.

BREAKFAST NESTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Preheat Oven to 375°F. Separate the biscuits into 2 rows of 4. Brush butter on 1 row, then sprinkle cheese (and chives if desired) on both rows. Then place the row without butter on top of the row with butter. Cut a hole in the center of the biscuit stack. About 2 inches across (if you have a 2in cookie cutter, then you're winning at this point). Place the biscuit holes on the sheet pan as well; you can dip them in the soft egg. Put the biscuit holes and the biscuit donut looking things on the sheet pan. Fill each 'donut' with a slice of ham (perhaps 2 if you prefer), then crack the eggs and put them in the ham. The ham should form a 'bowl' and contain the egg. Bake the biscuits and eggs until they turn flakey and golden brown. Usually about about 15 to 20 minutes... Also shake the pan, the eggs should still be wiggly even though the whites are cooked. This is perfect.

BREAKFAST NESTS

Steps:

• 1. 1. Heat the oven to 400F. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together the defrosted potatoes, oil, salt and pepper. Put about 1/3 of a cup of the potato mixture in each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin (about 1 heaping tbsp if using mini muffin tin). Press the mixture in the bottom and around the sides of each cup. Bake until crispy on edges and golden brown in bottom, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool a bit. Once cool run a knife around the outside of each nest to loosen it from the tin.
• 2. While potato nests are cooking, cook, drain and crumble bacon.
• 3. Once the nests are ready, turn the oven down to 375F. Whisk together eggs and milk. Mix in bacon and cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Add oil or butter to a pan and scramble eggs until they begin to set and small curds begin to form.
• 4. Divide egg mixture evenly between nests. (You can sprinkle a little extra cheese on top here if you love cheese like me.)Place tin back in oven (remember it's at 375F) and bake until cheese is melted and eggs are set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use a knife to loosen once again from the tin. Lift out carefully with a fork and serve warm.
• 5. When I bring these to school, I usually pop them in the microwave on paper plates in batches of 4 or 5 for 1 to 2 minutes per plate. You could prepare them ahead of time and do this just before serving if you served them as hors d'oeuvres at a brunch.

HASH BROWNS NESTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray 4 cups of a regular size muffin tin with a butter-flavored cooking spray.
• Combine the hash browns, salt, pepper, onion, parsley, and butter and add 1/2 cup of mixture to each muffin cup, pressing up the sides to top of cup.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• While hash browns are in oven, sauté onions, sausage and red pepper for three minutes; cool.
• Mix the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, parsley, scallions, and cheese.
• Add sausage mixture and pour into hash brown cups.
• Turn oven down to 350°F, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until eggs are set.
• Cool slightly, run a thin knife around the hash brown cup and gently remove from muffin tin with a rubber spatula.

BIRD IN THE NEST

Steps:

• 1. Take bread slices and cut out hole in the center with a biscuit cutter.
• 2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Spread half of the butter on the bread and then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top. Broil in oven until lightly browned.
• 3. Place remainder of butter in a hot non-stick skillet and place toast slices (browned side up)in immediately. Crack an egg into each of the center holes. Season with salt and pepper.
• 4. Cover the skillet so the yolk will cook without having to turn the bread over. Cook on medium high until the egg is over easy or over medium.
• 5. Place the toast on a plate and drizzle with pure maple syrup or honey.

BREAKFAST BIRD'S NEST

Steps:

• Lay bread on the counter or a plate.
• Using a wide topped glass, cut a circle out of the center of the bread.
• Over medium heat, melt 1 tsp butter in a non-stick skillet.
• When heated, lay both pieces of bread (the circle and the piece with the hole) in pan and reduce heat to low-medium.
• When bread is very lightly browned on the bottom, drop 1 tsp butter into the hole.
• When melted, crack the egg over the hole and allow egg to drop into and fill the hole.
• Cook for 1- 2 minutes and then flip the bread with the egg and the bread circle over.
• Cook for about 2- 3 minutes, until bread is lightly browned and egg is set.
• Serve egg with the toasted bread circle for dipping.
