Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add hash browns, olive oil, cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper and mix together.
- Divide hash brown mixture between 12 muffin cups (use a cookie scoop to make your life easier). Each one will hold a generous ¼ cup.
- Press the hash browns in to the muffin tin. Make a small depression in the middle, shaping it into a nest.
- Generously spray the tops of the hash brown nest with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the hash browns are golden brown. Keep an eye on them for the last few minutes to ensure they don't burn. Let the hash brown nests cool for about 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
- Crack an egg into each nest.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolk is your desired doneness.
- Serve warm. Add salt and pepper to taste.

BREAKFAST BIRD'S NEST
My grandmother and mom both made these for me when I was very little and now I make them for my little ones. They love their eggs made this way. Some people call them "egg in a window", but my mom always called them "bird's nests". Kids love them, but I still make them for myself :) There's just something yummier about the "dipping" toast being fried in butter instead of just popped in the toaster, and after dipping, the egg white tastes great with the fried bread from the "nest".

BIRD'S NEST TREATS
I make this birds nest recipe in the spring when the birds are starting to build their own nests. They are so easy to make and disappear just as fast. -Pam Painter, Poseyville, Indiana

BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS
This is a lightened version of a recipe. It usually has regular bacon and eggs in it. I got this from a Simple & Delicious bonus recipe booklet. I only made one change to add chives instead of parsley. They are so pretty:)
