Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups

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!

Yield:
24 breakfast cups
Servings:

Ingredients

  • 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled – divided
  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups.

Step 2
Mix hash brown potatoes, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Divide mixture between prepared muffin cups and use your fingers to shape potato mixture into nests with hollows in the middle.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are browned on the edges and cheese has melted, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove hash brown nests.

Step 4
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 5
Whisk eggs and water in a bowl until thoroughly combined; season with salt and black pepper. Pour equal amount of egg mixture into each nest; sprinkle with bacon crumbles and 1 teaspoon Cheddar cheese.

Step 6
Bake in the oven until eggs are set, 13 to 16 minutes. Let cool in pans and remove by sliding a knife between potato crust and muffin cup.

Cook’s Notes:

You can also experiment with ham, sausage, and veggies to make them your own. I also use chicken-Asiago sausage. Excellent quick breakfast for the weekdays. Very nutritious for toddlers who enjoy finger foods.

    These would make a great grab and go breakfast – or perfect for a brunch or shower. I would suggest baking these in disposable cupcake liners, they will slide right out and the clean up is a breeze. I halved the recipe and instead of frozen hash browns I grated 3 medium russet potatoes with the food processor and placed the grated potato into a salad spinner. Rinsed the potatoes well in cool water and spun them dry. Next time I will build the sides of the nests a little higher. Overall, this is a solid recipe to which you can add anything you would like to customize these to your families taste.

    • 11 years ago

    Great concept, but, salty salty salty!. I even cut it back to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Next time, minimal amount of salt.

    • 10 years ago

    These tastes super great. Although we used paper liners and the potatoes got stuck to them. This recipe also called for way too many potatoes. We only used about half a a package.

    • 10 years ago

    This is delicious!! I added some diced green peppers and ham to mine, and it was the perfect breakfast cupcake!

    • 10 years ago

    Absolutely loved this recipe. They came out looking so delish. I used everything in recipe plus I added green pepper, chopped very small. Ok so next time if using bacon, you don’t need to add the salt. Bacon

    • 10 years ago

    I made these for Recipe Group. I used one muffin pan, and foil liners – making 12 hash brown nests at a time – then moving them to a cookie sheet, before adding the eggs, bacon, and cheese. Next time, I will spray the foil liners, first. And will add green onion! This will make a nice hand-held breakfast for my little friends before we head to the beach (= Edit: the day after our trip to the beach, I made breakfast sandwiches with the leftovers, using leftover biscuits, deli turkey, and jack cheese. Yum! My friend said it was the best breakfast I’ve made for him (=

    • 10 years ago

    Recipe Group Selection: 26, July 2014 ~ The flavor of these are very good and I like that you can totally customize them to your families likings. I used my square cupcake pans and got exactly 24. So for me, the serving size was spot on. I used ham on some and bacon on some. I added diced onion and peppers to the mix. The taste was great, and they reheated great in the microwave. The downside was – how they stick to the pan. The pans I used are coated so that you do not have to spray them and my foods have always come out. Reading other reviews how they stuck to the pans – I very heavily sprayed with cooking spray. Oh, what a mess! They did not release from the pan, and the pans were a bear to clean. If I make them again, I will use foil cupcake liners that are sprayed first. Sticking issues aside, remember they have great flavor, love that you can customize and reheat wonderfully.

    • 10 years ago

    Five stars for great base recipe idea. After reading the reviews I reduced salt to 1.5 teaspoons salt which worked for out for taste buds. I also tried one pan with paper cup liners and didn’t care for the results compared to them without . The potatoes weren’t as crisp and they were harder to get out of the paper ( not as pretty ). Overall, fun recipe thanks for sharing.

    • 10 years ago

    These were very tasty, and cute…execution did not work out so well for me though 🙁 I only have one muffin pan, so I figured I’d do half a recipe worth of nests, pull them out and put aside, then bake the rest…but I couldn’t get them out. So, I left the first half in the tin until the next morning and went ahead with the rest of the recipe. Slightly easier to get out with the egg making the cups a more solid mass to get a spoon under…the potatoes did not crisp up like I’d hoped, except the top edge. I did cut the salt in half per other reviews, and I used Canadian bacon (my favorite breakfast meat!). Worrying about the cups sticking, I used 3 T oil in the potato mixture, and used a pastry brush and veggie oil to thoroughly grease my muffin cups. Having some trouble getting my muffin pan clean now, so I am tempted to take the rest of the potato mixture and slap it in a pie plate…thanks for the idea but this just didn’t work for me! Update: used the rest of the ingredients to make an ‘eagle’s nest’ in my Pyrex pie plate and it worked much better 🙂

    • 10 years ago

    I give this 4 starts only because I haven’t eaten one yet. I am taking them tailgating with us tomorrow. I ran a knife around the edges to loosen them when I took them out of the oven to make sure they don’t stick to the pan. This is a great idea!!

    • 10 years ago

    This is a family favorite breakfast, I love making this over the holiday’s because it travels well!

    • 10 years ago

    Way too long to prepare, every dish in the kitchen. Once baked I could not get them out of the muffin pans.

    • 10 years ago

    I made the hash brown cups for my individual quiches for Christmas Breakfast.
    Others had said they were very hard to remove from pan and paper cups.I used parchment paper muffin cups and they were perfect.I baked in my convection oven and when I took them out of the oven,the papers just feel away from the potato.I had to use a few regular paper cupcake papers and everything stuck and the one foil I tried seemed to boil.Great recipe,parchment paper cups work the best.

    • 9 years ago

    I simplified this by using 2 packages of “Just Potatoes hash browns” & Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon. This removed the need to thaw the frozen potatoes or have to cook up & crumble the bacon. I also used oversized muffin tins (6 each) to make 12 nests

    • 9 years ago

    DELICIOUS!!

    • 9 years ago

    These are fun to make and even better to devour. I love making a dozen or so of these, and keep them in the freezer for a quick snack.

    • 9 years ago

    Very salty! Also should revise recipe to say how much salt and pepper goes in hashbrowns and in eggs.

    • 9 years ago

    I used Pam for baking and they came right out of the tin no worries.

    • 9 years ago

    These are great! Both my daughters gave a big thumbs up to make these again. I used refrigerated shredded hash browns instead of the frozen because that is what I had on hand. Thanks for a great recipe.

    • 9 years ago

    Taste great. I sprayed the pan with Pam, then ran a small offset spatula around the outside about 5 minutes after taking the empty cups out of the oven. They stayed unstuck after filling them with the egg mixture and re-cooking.

    • 9 years ago

    Yes it was definitely a salty recipe, but it was so great! I used some Lawry’s seasoning salt as well as regular table salt, and olive oil infused with Italian spices on the hash browns with extra fresh ground pepper for an invigorating kick. We also sandwiched them between halved multi-grain english muffins. These have totally changed my brunch game.

    • 9 years ago

    Very cute concept and presents well. Next time; however, I will add green onions and other veggies to enhance the flavor.

    Note: I used freshly shredded potatoes instead of frozen, which seem to have behaved similarly to the frozen potatoes; make sure to rinse the starch off of the potatoes and squeeze the water out of the potato shreds using a piece of cheese cloth.

    • 9 years ago

    Very good.

    • 9 years ago

    I did not use water but heavy whipping cream instead. And I also greased pan with olive oil so they slid right out of the pan

    • 9 years ago

    Agree with mlcoates…

    A lot of preparation for little reward.

    Made exactly according to the recipe for a New Year’s Eve Brunch this morning.

    Nests were hopelessly fused to my greased and non-stick pan. So mad. Completely ruined the experience for me. If I make a similar concoction again, I will be using silicon baking cups.

    Tasteless. I wish I had seasoned the eggs with dry mustard or something. The dish as made to the recipe really lacked flavor.

    • 8 years ago

    too dry! Not real tasty!

    • 8 years ago

    I made it as written EXCEPT I used MorningStar Farms bacon (I do not eat meat) also I didnt have any cheddar cheese so I used mozzerella in place of the cheddar and less salt than the recipe states to use, (other reviews stated too salty). Turned out great! Very Good! Even have some to press n seal for grab & go anytime quick meals!

    • 8 years ago

    Whoever called for 2.5 tsp of salt is the reason this recipe is a major fail. Way too much salt and pepper. They did not release from the paper cup liners and so this was a double disaster. This recipe needs some major tweaks but really not worth the time imo.

    • 8 years ago

    This has become one of my favorite recipes to make ahead and freeze. Just reheat individual cups in the microwave for 45 seconds. I added a little onion for more flavor and reduced the salt by a teaspoon as well the second time I made it. Delicious!

    • 8 years ago

    Delicious & so easy!!

    • 8 years ago

    Great recipe! I did cut back on the salt after reading other reviews, I used 1 teaspoon and they weren’t too salty. I also used Kirkland bacon crumbles so that saved time. You need to make sure your muffin pan is a good non-stick one. I had one newer pan and one older one, the newer pan, they popped out very easily, the older pan they did stick a bit. I will definitely make these again, thanks for sharing!

    • 8 years ago

    I substituted whole wheat pasta for the hash browns. I found the pasta even easier to mold into the nests. Also, I used a jumbo muffin tin. The first time that I made these, I thought that the nest didn’t allow for all of the good stuff that I was putting in. This also that I had to increase the cooking time by 50%.
    I added chicken feta cheese sausage, broccoli and spinach.
    Due to reviews that I read, I drastically reduced the salt and then seasoned to taste on the plate.
    I’ll make these again and will substitute reduced sodium chicken broth for water.

    • 8 years ago

    Made these this morning for Easter breakfast. I cut the recipe in half since it was the first time making them. Way too heavy on hash browns in my opinion. Nice idea, but I won’t be making them again.

    • 8 years ago

    I made it this morning for our Easter breakfast and it was great! I followed the recipe almost exactly, adding a little less salt as stated by other reviews. I did not use cupcake liners, I just made sure to use plenty of Pam and it worked fine for me. My entire family loved this!!!

    • 8 years ago

    Not only did it take a long time to prepare but the clean up was not something that was easy. I followed the instructions to a T but the muffins stuck so bad that they no longer looked a a muffin when I finally got them out of the tin. I’ll have to pass on this one. Hope you have better luck than I did with this.

    • 8 years ago

    I skipped the cheese – and turned out very bland. Good presentation with cut up sausage links as the “eggs” in the nest. The hashbrowns at the bottom of the nests were cooked but soggy and hard to remove from the pan. This was a fun breakfast food to make but the kids wouldn’t eat it. Someone should tweak this recipe and baking technique so it is tastier and easier to make. It is a fun concept!

    • 8 years ago

    My cups stuck in the pan. Definitely use the cupcake liners.

    • 8 years ago

    Very nice! I made it exactly as written. Sprayed pan with olive oil spray and loosened potatos before adding egg mixture. They popped right out for serving. No mess. Definitely can cut salt next time. I will freeze leftovers to take to work.

    • 8 years ago

    Changes I made were sausage instead of bacon and deleted a lot of the salt. I would suggest to prep everything the night before, bottoms came out soggy,so squeeze hash brown with paper towels several times,did have issues getting them out of the muffin tin. Let the nest sit for about 15 min. They will come out of tin easier,served with salsa Verde.

    • 8 years ago

    Great grab and go breakfast, I like that I can freeze these and leave them in our work freezer for those mornings that I forget breakfast. Also so easy to modify to my own tastes and prep isn’t very difficult.

    • 8 years ago

    Only made 6 so I halved the recipe. Made as is the first time and was a big hit. Next time I think I will try to just add an egg and bake it so the yolk was soft instead of scrambled. Might be a challenge…but as is the recipe is delish and turned out perfect!

    • 7 years ago

    Deeeeeeeelish! Made this for myself and four kiddos from 4 years old to 12, and it was a knockout hit!

    • 7 years ago

    Good general recipe that lends itself well to personalizing of ingredients.

    • 7 years ago

    A new Saturday morning favorite! Added pico de gallo to get some veggies and some spice. Leftovers make breakfast on the go easy and quick!

    • 7 years ago

    I liked these a lot! They are great to make ahead of time and eat throughout the week. I used less salt, per other’s reviews and used a little less cheese as well. I made fresh hash browns and soaked as much water from the potato as possible. The nest wasn’t super crispy, but I didn’t have a problem with sogginess : ) I would make this again, and experiment with the fillings!

    • 7 years ago

    I didn’t have frozen shredded potatoes so I shredded 5 big potatoes I had. I put the shredded potatoes in cheesecloth to strain the excess water. I also used foil to line my muffin tins and sprayed the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Was a huge hit with my teenagers!!

    • 7 years ago

    I love this recipe. I change the ingredients frequently just depending on what I have leftover in the fridge. So far I’ve used sausage, bacon, and ham. I also saute some onions and then cook the meat in with those for additional flavor. I typically use more than the recommended amount of meat, I would suggest 1 1/2 pounds of sausage, and at least a pound of bacon (8 or 9 slices of thick cut). I’ve read several complaints about sticking, I’ve never had this problem. I use the Pampered Chef individual brownie pan without liners and generously apply cooking spray. I start with hash browns frozen, and after “pre-cooking” them I press them down with the back of a large spoon. After the final bake I run a butter knife around the edge and they slide right out. I typically get 24 nests which I package in two’s in sandwich bags. They can be warmed in 30-45 seconds in an 1100 watt microwave for a hearty on the go breakfast.

    • 7 years ago

    My 10 yr old son wanted to make these for breakfast, so I helped him. They were a bit time consuming to prepare, but my son enjoys cooking, so time with him made it enjoyable. I sprayed the pan with Pam, some stuck, some slid right out. Definitely too much salt and pepper for our taste. My son didn’t like that they were so “spicy.” The leftovers will make for a convenient, grab and go breakfast.

    • 7 years ago

    It is so nice the freeze and you can microwave them anytime you want them.

    • 7 years ago

    I made some changes…
    1. used turkey bacon
    2. no salt (bacon has enough)
    3. Added diced red bell pepper and 4 spring onions

    I didn’t have time to make the cups, so I layered it in a 9×13 pan and baked for an hour at 350 degrees. It turned out good, but next time I’ll use about half of the hashbrowns.

    • 7 years ago

    I made this as an experiment for Easter brunch. Everybody loved it and said it was a keeper! I didn’t add any salt, some I sprinkled bacon and some I left without. I definitely used the parchment paper to avoid any sticking to the muffin tin. This also made many more than 8 nests. I was able to make 16 nests with this recipe. Also I made the nests the night before and placed covered in the frig. Easy assembly in the am. Yum!

    • 7 years ago

    Good and even better left over and warmed in the microwave.

    • 7 years ago

    Love how butter wasn’t used like so many others…I can’t have potatoes so I used zucchini…besides that delicious thnx for sharing

    • 7 years ago

    Just no. Too hard to get out of the muffin pan. Too salty. Too much trouble. Cute idea though. Will not make again.

    • 7 years ago

    I would put parchment paper into each of the muffin cups for easier removal. It is a great idea.

    • 7 years ago

    Relatively easy. I was looking for a volume item for a function. This should be easy as I have a couple of 24 cupcake pans. I would put the meat in before the eggs as they have a tendency to sit on top. Good grab and go food.

    • 7 years ago

    Great recipe. Knocked one star off for way too much salt; especially with the bacon. Only other negative: I didn’t quite get 24 nests. I suggest letting them cool completely before trying to remove. Anyway, they stuck to my inexpensive muffin pan but came right out of my williams-sonoma,

    • 7 years ago

    Great recipe. Used turkey bacon, cut the recipe in thirds and enjoying them without guilt!!

    • 7 years ago

    I am not a cook! I made these and they turned out amazing and delicious! Even my kids (who only eat pop tarts and frozen pancakes for breakfast) loved them!

    • 7 years ago

    My family loved this! I used diced ham instead of bacon. Next time I will decrease the salt.

    • 7 years ago

    I made the recipe in an aluminum pie pan and reduced the eggs to 6, which was still just fine. I found the recipe excessively salty. Overall, it is good, and I made it again this morning for guest, eliminating the salt, but using a seasoning salt instead. I added chopped red pepper, which added to the color, but didn’t add much flavor. However it benefited by the color. I thought it might be a lot more trouble to make the little birdsnests, and will continue to make it the pie pans.

    • 7 years ago

    I give it 5 stars made it for coworkers perfect

    • 7 years ago

    I will make it again over and over and changing up the ingredients to variations:-))))

    • 7 years ago

    No, it was delicious just the way the recipe was printed.

    • 7 years ago

    no

    • 7 years ago

    Outstanding

    • 7 years ago

    I love the idea of these cups, and they’re absolutely adorable. They do need some additional seasoning however. They were pretty bland. As far as a problem of sticking goes, I used a silicone muffin pan and sprayed it heavily with the cooking spray so they wouldn’t stick and I had no problem getting them out.

    • 7 years ago

    I added peppers & onions also, definitely will make again, great food for on the run

    • 7 years ago

    My grand daughter couldn’t wait to eat these. I also had some for grab ‘n go breakfast the next day. So good!

    • 7 years ago

    Made this exactly as the recipe stated and had a terrible time getting the nests out of the muffin tins. I lost at least a third of each even using a knife to loosen and having well greased tins. I think I’d use the foil cupcake papers if I made them again. Also much more pepper in them than I’d have preferred, though my son thought they were fine.

    • 7 years ago

    I used ham instead of bacon. They were good, but my muffin pan is still soaking. It was impossible to get them out of the pan without leaving hashbrowns behind. Soaking and scrubbing, and more soaking and scrubbing has not worked yet. I liberally sprayed the pan with PAM, but they still stuck. I won’t do that again.

    • 7 years ago

    This was a good recipe. I just did the hash browns, eggs, cheese and I added cut up ham. That was it! Just make sure to spray the bottom of your muffin tins really good or the hash browns stick too much.

    • 7 years ago

    Not something I would make again. Not bad tasting; just nothing special.

    • 7 years ago

    This was a big seller. Skip the salt or go very light on it. Great to have handy for morning. I used a large muffin pan so made 12 instead of 24.

    • 7 years ago

    Made these this morning, after reading the other reviews, I used parchment liners, didn’t have any problems with sticking. I pretty much followed the recipe as written, I only made half of the recipe and used what I had on hand. I did add onions, garlic and additional spices, just use your favorite. This is a great recipe for customizing to your preferences . I will definitely make them again.

    • 7 years ago

    It’s too much work for the outcome and they’re not that tasty. The directions tell you shape the hashbrown nests and then take them out of the muffin cups and then “I guesss” you put them back in again to cook the eggs. That’s what I did.

    • 7 years ago

    I I put some extra cheese and bacon bits and it tasted great!

    • 7 years ago

    Love this recipe.. I did cut the salt in half. you can always add it later..and I used Sausage instead of bacon..

    • 7 years ago

    Made as stated, only added some ham. The hash brown cups were a fail. I had no issues with sticking, and they came out of the oven crispy and brown. After adding the egg mixture and baking, they lost all crispness and actually ruined the whole thing. No one in my house would eat these unfortunately.

    • 7 years ago

    To me they seem a bit bland. The potato mixture needed a little something. I had a terrible time with it sticking in the muffin pans. I used canola nonstick spray, it wasnt a good idea. Clean up was a hassle.

    • 7 years ago

    As other reviewers suggested, very important to use parchment paper muffin cups!

    • 7 years ago

    I ended up throwing away the muffin tin I was using. the portions are all off. it made 12 muffins and a whole size pie.

    • 7 years ago

    I made these for my boys this weekend and we all loved them. I like that you can add different ingredients and make these more to your taste. I elected not to add salt; as the salt in the bacon and the cheese is plenty for us. I added some Penzy’s Arizona Dreaming seasoning in addition to the pepper to the potatoes. The only difficulty I had was figuring out the correct amount of egg mixture to add to each cup. To the top is too much, just below the nest was to little. I would say just over the nest was just right. Thanks for the great recipe.

    • 7 years ago

    Very tasty – added a little chopped green pepper and a dash of cayenne. The downside, they are so difficult to get out of the muffin tin. First time sprayed with Pam, 2nd time tried shortening. Maybe need to buy new muffin pans. 🙁

    • 6 years ago

    I’ve made these several times now, with the first time using the suggestion of cupcake liners sprayed with coming spray. This doesn’t work except to have the food stick to the liners. I’ve made these directly in the muffin tins coated with butter and no sticking and clean up is nominal. The convenience of the liners is lost if the food bakes into the liners instead.

    • 6 years ago

    I cut back salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Otherwise turned out great.

    • 6 years ago

    The recipe shown leaves out some important details when it comes to putting these together. The how to video that is available shows exactly how it should be done. Squeezing out all the moisture from the potatoes would have been very helpful in directions – so would’ve the use of paper muffin cups and cooking spray. 1st time I made these I followed the recipe directions and the potatoes weren’t crisp and very hard to get out of muffin pan – 2nd time follow video directions and they came out perfect. Highly suggest that you watch the video 1st before making these for best results.

    • 6 years ago

    I made these for easy breakfasts for my 11 year old son. He loves them!

    • 6 years ago

    They are delicious but I will cut back on the salt next time. Also, I did not use baking cups. I will try that next time as I’m considering throwing out my muffin tin. I used bacon grease to grease the cups thinking that would be the trick. Not!

    • 6 years ago

    These were so simple to make. My twin 2 year granddaughters helped. We used ham instead of bacon. They are delicious and the twins had an easy no mess breakfast!

    • 6 years ago

    I used a bigger 12 pc muffin pan and added turkey and green onion to mine. Arguably turned out better then the recipe. They came right out of the pan,and their twice the size making them a better portion for a breakfast.

    • 6 years ago

    Love these! They are now a staple in my house..there’s always a couple in the fridge and a bunch in the freezer 🙂

    • 6 years ago

    Using this as a base recipe, I did make some changes in the seasoning and veggie department. The cooking times stayed the same though. I made them for a grade 4 kids’ potluck and they were devoured. I added about a teaspoon of paprika, a bit of garlic and a touch more pepper to the potatoes. Because the potatoes are so seasoned, I didn’t add salt or pepper to the egg mix. I did however add diced tomatoes, dried onion (I prepped my eggs the night before so they softened and add a lot of flavour without salt), shredded spinach and I topped them with turkey ‘back bacon’. I will make these again for the family.

    • 6 years ago

    This is so easy and my children love it. We all have different ways of eating our eggs and when I make them this way we all get what we want.

    • 6 years ago

    Yes, definitely need to use less salt, but love the recipe. I added a little green onion & green pepper to a few. You can add so many different ingredients to change them up or to suit everyone’s taste! I was looking for a quick, fast, healthier breakfast for grandkids & found something for everyone! Thanks for the recipe!

    • 6 years ago

    I didn?t have hash browns so I used thawed tater tots and they were delicious!

    • 6 years ago

    Easy to make, I added diced red onions and green chilies. Would make again, next time will use muffing papers though.

    • 6 years ago

    I made these with only one change. I had dehydrated hash browns near the expiration date to use up. I hydrated them & used instead of frozen hash browns. I was a little short on the hashbrown so only filled 16 instead of 24 in my muffin pan. All other ingredients were the same. They were a great hit. My daughter in law thought they could have used some grated onion but the children would not have like that. We served with salsa & sour cream. I popped a couple in the freezer to see how that works. Great idea, thank you Ephesis.
    Oh, mine did stick a bit in pan even though I sprayed Pam in them. Next time I will use cup cake liners for an easier clean up.

    • 6 years ago

    They are good, but stick to cupcake pan and had half of the hash browns left. Used 2 dozen eggs also.

    • 6 years ago

    These were super easy and I halved the recipe to make 12. I used PAM cooking spray and the muffins popped right out of the muffin tin. We put in green chiles in the egg mix with bacon bits on top along with the cheese. Took about 15 minutes for the potato cheese (nests) to crisp brown around the edges and I cooked the egg mixture for 17 to make sure everything was cooked through. Great easy breakfast for guests.
