Brighten up your morning with a hash brown egg nest! A simply delicious solution for any day of the week with only 5 ingredients. It’s a great twist on the ultimate breakfast with crispy hash browns, eggs, cheese and a sprinkling of herbs.
Ingredients
550g mini or standard frozen hash browns, thawed
1 ¼ cup grated cheese
¼ cup frozen peas
12 eggs
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (we use parsley and basil)
Method
Preheat your oven to 200°C fan bake. In a large bowl break up the hash browns and toss together with 1 cup of cheese, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture amongst a greased muffin tray and press the mixture tightly into each cavity to create a nest.
Place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges have browned. Turn the oven temperature down to 180°C.
Sprinkle half the peas amongst the nests, then crack one egg into each. Top with remaining peas, cheese, salt and pepper and return to the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes, until the egg whites have just set.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray and garnishing with fresh herbs.
