- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 12 eggs
- 4 slices bacon cooked & diced
- 1 c steamed spinach
- 1/4 c chives thinly sliced
Pre-heat oven to 450F.
In a large bowl, combine the russet potatoes (or bagged hashbrowns), 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and salt + pepper. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking oil. Divide the hashbrown mixture evenly the muffin cups. Pack them tightlywith your fingers and shape them into nests or press down with a small measuring cup.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges have browned. Remove nests from oven and reduce temperature to 350F
Crack a egg into each hashbrown nest. At this point, add in bacon and spinach (or other toppings). Top with a sprinkle of cheese and diced bacon. Bake at 350F until the egg whites set, about 12-15 minutes.
Cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. Garnish with chives to serve!
