Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with dairy-free cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and use a box grater or a food processor to shred them into hash brown-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the potatoes are well coated.

Step 4

Divide the potato mixture evenly among the muffin cups in the tin, pressing down and up the sides to form nest shapes.

Step 5

Bake the potato nests in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown. Check occasionally to ensure they're not burning.

Step 6

While the nests are baking, finely slice the scallions and small dice the red bell pepper. Set aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. This will be a topping for the nests.

Step 8

Once the nests are golden, remove them from the oven and crack an egg into each nest.

Step 9

Continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Remove from oven.

Step 10

Garnish each bird's nest with diced red bell peppers, sliced scallions, and a dollop of the avocado mixture.

Step 11

Carefully remove the nests from the muffin tin using a spoon and plate them for serving. Serve immediately.
