Description
Mini Nest Hash Browns are a fun and festive way to serve breakfast or brunch. These crispy little nests are made from shredded potatoes, baked in muffin tins, and filled with your favorite toppings—think eggs, cheese, or even little “eggs” made from cherry tomatoes or peas for a nest-like look. They’re crunchy on the outside, tender in the middle, and totally irresistible.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded potatoes (fresh or thawed frozen hash browns)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional fillings: scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage, cherry tomatoes, peas, avocado
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a bowl, mix shredded potatoes, cheese, melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Press the mixture into each muffin cup, shaping it up the sides to form a “nest.”
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Let cool slightly, then remove from tin. Fill with toppings of your choice and serve.
