Cheesy Hash Brown Nests Food

CHEESY HASH BROWN NESTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Use a pastry brush or paper towel to grease wells of a 12-cup muffin pan with oil; set pan aside.
• Place parsley into a small saucepan and add water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Strain liquid into a large mixing bowl, Add 2 Tablespoons of cooked parsley to the bowl and discard remaining parsley.
• Add frozen shredded potatoes to the bowl with parsley water. Stir to coat and allow mixture to absorb into potatoes for 5-10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine.
• Fill wells of muffin pan with potato mixture and use back of a spoon to press mixture against bottom and sides of each well Drizzle or brush tops with a little more oil (this will help them develop a nice golden, crispy top).
• Bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown, but still slightly moist in the center. Remove pan from oven and allow nests to cool in pan for 2 minutes.
• Run an offset spatula or the edge of a butter knife along the inside edge of the wells to help release the nests from the pan. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm, topped with aioli and additional chopped parsley, if desired.

HASH BROWNS WITH CHEESY EGGS AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• For the hash browns: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Grate the onion on the largest holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Grate the potatoes and put in a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a kitchen towel. Squeeze the liquid from the potatoes, then add the dry potatoes to the bowl with the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the herbs and mix until well combined.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing down lightly with a spatula. Repeat until there are 4 hash browns in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes, reducing the heat to medium low if they start to brown too quickly. Flip and cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining potato mixture.
• For the cheesy eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lower the heat and add the egg mixture. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, push the eggs toward the center of the skillet and let the liquid run out. Cook, continually moving, until just set, about 2 minutes. Drop 2 tablespoons of the garlic-herb cheese into the middle. Gently fold the cheese into the warm eggs.
• Divide the hash browns among 4 plates. Top each with some cheesy eggs and sliced avocado. Dollop each portion of eggs with 1 tablespoon of the remaining garlic-herb cheese. Serve immediately.
