Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast recipe that’s been making waves in my kitchen! As a busy mom who loves treating her family to something special, I’ve perfected this crispy, golden-brown breakfast masterpiece that’ll have everyone running to the table.
Picture this: Crispy hash brown nests filled with perfectly cooked eggs, topped with melted cheese, crispy bacon bits, and a sprinkle of fresh chives. I call them my “Nest Egg Breakfast Baskets,” and trust me, they’re about to become your new breakfast obsession!
What You’ll Need (serves 4):
– 4 medium potatoes, grated
– 4 large eggs
– 4 strips of bacon, crumbled
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh chives for garnish
– Non-stick cooking spray
Let me walk you through this, bestie!
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F. While that’s heating up, grate your potatoes (I like to use my food processor because, hello, who has time for hand grating?).
1. Here’s my secret tip: After grating, wrap those potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and SQUEEZE like your life depends on it! You want them as dry as possible for maximum crispiness.
1. Mix your dried potatoes with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Don’t be shy with the seasoning, darling!

1. Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray and press the potato mixture into each cup, creating a nest shape. The trick is to make the sides thin enough to crisp but sturdy enough to hold our precious filling.
1. Bake these babies for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. While they’re baking, cook and crumble your bacon (if you haven’t already meal prepped it like the queen you are).
1. Once your nests are golden, carefully crack an egg into each nest, sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits, and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
1. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chives, and voilà ! You’ve just created breakfast magic!
Pro tip: Want to make these ahead? You can prepare the potato nests the night before and just add the eggs in the morning. Because we all know mornings are crazy enough!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made these for brunches, and every single time, people beg for the recipe. They’re perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings or when you want to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there, right?).
