Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a standard muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Spoon the potato mixture into the muffin tin cups, pressing it down firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create a 'nest' shape.

Step 5

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges of the hash brown nests are golden and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and crack one egg into each hash brown nest. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the eggs.

Step 7

Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness for the eggs.

Step 8

Once baked, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each nest and bake for 1-2 more minutes, just until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the bird's nests to cool for 2 minutes. Gently loosen them from the tin using a butter knife or small spatula.

Step 10

Garnish each nest with a sprinkle of chopped fresh chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bird's Nest Breakfast!
