Breakfast Egg Nests Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups.
• Mix hash brown potatoes, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Divide mixture between prepared muffin cups and use your fingers to shape potato mixture into nests with hollows in the middle.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are browned on the edges and cheese has melted, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove hash brown nests.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs and water in a bowl until thoroughly combined; season with salt and black pepper. Pour equal amount of egg mixture into each nest; sprinkle with bacon crumbles and 1 teaspoon Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the oven until eggs are set, 13 to 16 minutes. Let cool in pans and remove by sliding a knife between potato crust and muffin cup.

Steps:

• Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Preheat Oven to 375°F. Separate the biscuits into 2 rows of 4. Brush butter on 1 row, then sprinkle cheese (and chives if desired) on both rows. Then place the row without butter on top of the row with butter. Cut a hole in the center of the biscuit stack. About 2 inches across (if you have a 2in cookie cutter, then you're winning at this point). Place the biscuit holes on the sheet pan as well; you can dip them in the soft egg. Put the biscuit holes and the biscuit donut looking things on the sheet pan. Fill each 'donut' with a slice of ham (perhaps 2 if you prefer), then crack the eggs and put them in the ham. The ham should form a 'bowl' and contain the egg. Bake the biscuits and eggs until they turn flakey and golden brown. Usually about about 15 to 20 minutes... Also shake the pan, the eggs should still be wiggly even though the whites are cooked. This is perfect.

Steps:

• Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut a shape out of the bread. Melt the butter in a griddle or frying pan. Place the bread in the pan and break an egg into the hole. Lay the cutout shape in the pan wherever it will fit and toast until golden brown. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
• When the egg is cooked on the bottom and before the bread becomes too brown, flip the egg nest to toast the other side and finish cooking the egg, about 1 minute. Serve with toasted shape.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Coat 6 (6 oz) ramekins with cooking spray and place on sheet pan.
• Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness and place in ramekins, pressing against bottom and sides, and overlapping where necessary.
• Combine mushrooms, green onion and tarragon in small bowl; season with salt and pepper and divide among ramekins.
• Break 1 egg carefully into each ramekin; top with cheese and paprika; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pan after 10 minutes, or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are still creamy. Bake slightly longer for hard cooked yolks.
• Cool on rack 2 minutes, then unmold, and transfer to serving plates.

Steps:

• Lay bread on the counter or a plate.
• Using a wide topped glass, cut a circle out of the center of the bread.
• Over medium heat, melt 1 tsp butter in a non-stick skillet.
• When heated, lay both pieces of bread (the circle and the piece with the hole) in pan and reduce heat to low-medium.
• When bread is very lightly browned on the bottom, drop 1 tsp butter into the hole.
• When melted, crack the egg over the hole and allow egg to drop into and fill the hole.
• Cook for 1- 2 minutes and then flip the bread with the egg and the bread circle over.
• Cook for about 2- 3 minutes, until bread is lightly browned and egg is set.
• Serve egg with the toasted bread circle for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray 4 cups of a regular size muffin tin with a butter-flavored cooking spray.
• Combine the hash browns, salt, pepper, onion, parsley, and butter and add 1/2 cup of mixture to each muffin cup, pressing up the sides to top of cup.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• While hash browns are in oven, sauté onions, sausage and red pepper for three minutes; cool.
• Mix the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, parsley, scallions, and cheese.
• Add sausage mixture and pour into hash brown cups.
• Turn oven down to 350°F, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until eggs are set.
• Cool slightly, run a thin knife around the hash brown cup and gently remove from muffin tin with a rubber spatula.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 400 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Remove crusts from bread and flatten with a rolling pin.
• Tuck bread in muffin tine with 4 corners sticking out. Add 1 tablespoons ham and 1 tablespoons cheese in each tin.
• Crack 6 eggs in a bowl and beat with a fork. Pour over ham and cheese, dividing the eggs among the 6 cups. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place muffin tin in oven and bake 25 minutes or until done.
