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.
BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS
I got the basics of this recipe from a friend of mine and thought it was a great idea since these little nests can be made ahead, which I love. They are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your own tastes. I not only use the recipe as a delicious grab-and-go breakfast, but serve it to guests nestled into some lovely cheese grits, alongside fresh fruits and French toast made on a panini press. Oh, and don't forget the mimosas!

EGGS IN A NEST
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.
BREAKFAST BIRD'S NEST
My grandmother and mom both made these for me when I was very little and now I make them for my little ones. They love their eggs made this way. Some people call them "egg in a window", but my mom always called them "bird's nests". Kids love them, but I still make them for myself :) There's just something yummier about the "dipping" toast being fried in butter instead of just popped in the toaster, and after dipping, the egg white tastes great with the fried bread from the "nest".

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.
Tips:
- To make the perfect egg nest, use a muffin tin with wells that are at least 1 1/2 inches deep. This will ensure that the eggs have enough room to rise and cook evenly. - Before cracking the eggs into the muffin tins, spray the wells with cooking spray or grease them with butter. This will help to prevent the eggs from sticking. - For a crispy egg nest, cook them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. If you prefer a softer egg nest, cook them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. - You can add a variety of toppings to your egg nests before baking them. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, ham, vegetables, and herbs. - Egg nests can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They also make a great appetizer or snack.Conclusion:
Egg nests are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal. They are perfect for busy mornings or when you need a quick and easy lunch or dinner. With a variety of toppings to choose from, egg nests can be customized to suit your taste. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give egg nests a try!
