Scrambled Eggs In Hash Brown Nests Food

SCRAMBLED EGGS IN HASH BROWN NESTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly coat a standard-sized muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• Place the shredded potatoes in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, add 4 tablespoons to the shredded potatoes and combine well.
• Divide the potatoes between the 12 muffin cups and, using your fingers, press them firmly to the sides and bottom to form little nests.
• Bake until golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Brush a little of the melted butter onto a nonstick pan and whisk the rest together with the eggs for about 30 seconds.
• Place the pan over medium-low heat and after about a minute, add the eggs.
• Leave the eggs undisturbed and wait for them to set (1/2 to 1 minute) before using a heat-proof spatula to begin gently pushing them from the edges of the pan toward the center.
• Continue the process until the eggs have turned from a liquid to large, soft, shiny curds then remove from the heat immediately and set aside.
• Do not stir, flip or break the eggs up into small curds.
• Remove the potato nests from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the nests to a serving platter and spoon a portion of scrambled eggs into each one.
• Top with crumbled bacon and a sprinkling of chives.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs: Whisk 3 large eggs, 1 pinch of kosher salt, 1 grind of black pepper and 3 tablespoons whole milk together until light and foamy.
• TIP: Odds are you're going to be serving these on a plate. If so, I strongly suggest you park an ovensafe one in a low oven or in hot water while you're cooking. Cold plates suck the heat right out of food.
• Add to the pan: Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to a 10-to-12-inch nonstick skillet and put it over high heat. When the butter bubbles (after about a minute), pour the eggs straight into the middle of the pan, which will force the butter to the edges, where it's needed.
• Scramble the eggs: Stir slowly with a rubber or silicone spatula. As soon as curds (big soft lumps) of eggs begin to form, drop the heat to low and shift from stirring to folding the curds over on themselves while gently shaking the pan with the other hand.
• Let rest: As soon as no more liquidous egg is running around the pan, kill the heat and gently transfer the scramble to the warmed plate. Let the eggs rest for 1 minute to finish cooking before serving.
