Hey there, breakfast lovers! 🌞
Let me tell you about my absolute favorite morning creation that’ll have you jumping out of bed faster than you can say “snooze button.” This recipe is basically heaven on a plate, and trust me, I’ve tested it on my pickiest friends (looking at you, Sarah, who practically lives on green juice).
Picture this: warm, crispy hash brown cups filled with perfectly cooked eggs, melted cheese, and crispy bacon bits, all topped with a sprinkle of fresh chives. I call them my “Breakfast Nest Bites,” and they’re seriously to die for!
What you’ll need (makes 6 nests):
– 2 large russet potatoes, grated
– 6 large eggs
– 4 strips of bacon, crumbled
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chives for garnish
Okay, ladies (and gents), let’s get cooking!
First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, grate your potatoes – and please, watch those fingers! Nobody needs a kitchen emergency before coffee. 😅
Here’s where the magic happens:
1. Squeeze out ALL the moisture from your grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel. And I mean really squeeze it – think of it as your morning arm workout!
2. Mix the dried potato shreds with melted butter, salt, and pepper
3. Grease a muffin tin and press the potato mixture into each cup, creating a nest shape
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown

Now, for the fun part:
1. Crack an egg into each potato nest
2. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits
3. Back into the oven for 10-12 minutes until eggs are set to your liking
4. Top with fresh chives
Pro tip: If you’re meal prepping (because who has time every morning, right?), you can make the potato nests ahead and store them in an airtight container. Just reheat and add the eggs when you’re ready!
These babies are perfect for brunch parties, lazy Sunday mornings, or when you want to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there!). They’re portable, customizable, and totally Instagram-worthy. 📸
