Ingredients

5 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
12 eggs
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/4 cup green onions, peeled and chopped

Instructions

Grease a 12-hole muffin pan.
In a bowl, combine hash browns, 1 cup of the cheese, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Divide mixture into prepared muffin holes and using hands, press firmly onto sides and bottom of each muffin holes to form a "nest".
Bake in a 425 F oven for about 13 to 15 minutes or until hash browns are crisp and lightly browned. Using a tablespoon, press down on the potato mixture to create a deeper well.
Crack one egg into each of the potato nests. Top each egg with crumbled bacon, green onions and the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
Bake in a 350 F oven for about 13 to 15 minutes or until egg whites are set.
Remove from heat and allow to slightly cool. Run a knife around the edges of each egg nests to loosen and gently lift off pan.
