Eggs in Crispy Hash Brown Baskets Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and grated
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as chives or parsley)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Squeeze Excess Moisture: Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy baskets.

Step 2: Make the Hash Brown Mixture
1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 3: Form the Baskets
1. Grease Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Shape Baskets: Divide the hash brown mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it firmly against the sides and bottom to form a basket shape.

Step 4: Bake the Hash Brown Baskets
1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Add the Eggs
1. Crack Eggs: Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Carefully crack an egg into each hash brown basket.
2. Season: Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6: Finish Baking
1. Return to Oven: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 7: Serve
1. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Carefully remove the baskets from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
