- olive oil spray
1/2 cup(s) onion, minced
1 - 2 cup(s) shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
- salt & pepper, to taste
12 tablespoon(s) butter, divided
6 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoon(s) onions, diced

1 ounce(s) ham, diced or 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a muffin tin with oil spray.
Combine potatoes, 1/2 C onion, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
Fill each muffin tin with 1/4 C of potatoes & press along the side of the tin so that it forms a nest. Place 1 Tbsp of butter in the bottom of each "nest". Bake 35 minutes or until golden brown & edges are crispy.
While nests are baking, combine the eggs, green pepper, remaining onions, garlic powder, parsley, salt & pepper in a medium bowl.
Remove nests from the oven when golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes.
Some lay some ham in each.
Fill each cup with about 3 Tbsp of egg mixture.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Return to the oven & bake an additional 17 - 20 minutes or until eggs are fully cooked.
