EGGS IN A BASKET OR BIRDS IN A NEST?

Eggs In A Basket or Birds In A Nest?

Our Fourth of July breakfast was our first ever attempt at Eggs In A Basket aka Birds In A Nest.  These came out so well that I had to share them with everyone.  

What you will Need

 LARGE Muffin Cup Pan
 Hash Brown Potatoes
 Eggs
 Cheese
 Bacon
 and Cooking Spray

  I purchased the ready cut fresh hash browns but you can prepare your own if you wish.  

Preheat oven to 350
 Spray muffin pans and line each cup with hash browns add a pinch of salt and pepper, bake 30 minutes. 

Remove from oven and crack one egg in each muffin cup add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 8 minutes. 

 Remove from oven and sprinkle with bacon (we precooked our bacon and cut it up) and cheese and return to oven for one minute. 

Call them either Eggs In A Basket or Birds In A Nest these are a truly fantastic way to impress your morning breakfast guest. 


You can use ham or prosciutto instead of bacon. 

Also, use any cheese that you like.

 For variation you can add peppers, onions or whatever you fancy 
with your Eggs In A Basket. 

Here's to beautiful mornings,

  2. Let me know how they turn out. One word of caution do not over cook the eggs unless you want the yokes fully cooked.

  3. I love these. Your method makes a nice crust. I have made them by mixing all the ingredients and baking. Or, baking the hash browns first on a sheet, and them adding the rest and cooking in a muffin tin.

    They also save well for later meals and portability. Thanks for sharing.
