Ingredients

• 3 cups Frozen hash browns
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)
• 1 as needed Non-stick spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Divide the frozen hash browns evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing them down and up the sides to create nest shapes.

Step 3

Bake the hash brown nests in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

While the nests are baking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 6

Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the hash brown nests are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the scrambled eggs into each of the hash brown nests and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Return the nests to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, let cool for 2 minutes, then carefully lift the nests out of the muffin tin using a fork or small spatula.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve warm.
