BREAKFAST NESTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Provided by gMinor

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package refrigerated biscuits, 8-count
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
4 slices ham
4 large eggs
Chives, optional
Paprika, optional

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.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Frozen hash browns
Eggs
Bacon
Shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Line bottoms of greased or sprayed muffin cups with hash browns. Bake 15 minutes at temperature suggested on package. Remove from oven. Gently crack an egg in each cup. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Return to oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Carefully remove from pan prior to serving.

Tips:

  • For a crispier nest, grease the muffin cups or use paper liners.
  • If you don't have muffin cups, you can make nests out of aluminum foil. Just fold the foil into a 3-inch circle and pinch the edges together to form a cup.
  • Use any type of bread for the nests. Sourdough, white, wheat, or even croissants all work well.
  • Get creative with your fillings. You can use anything from eggs and cheese to bacon, ham, and vegetables.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the nests immediately, while they're still warm and crispy.
