Eggs in Cheesy Hash Brown Nests


The busier our family gets, the more I like breakfast.  
The morning is calm(ish).  The day is fresh.  We're all together.  

I wasn't planning on posting this breakfast, but the family gave it such rave reviews that I grabbed  the last three nests so I could share them with you!


Frozen hash browns form a cheesy, crispy nest for deliciously baked eggs.
So delicious, even the sleepyheads will show up!



Eggs in Cheesy Hash Brown Nests
Makes 12

1 pound of frozen hash browns
2 tablespoons canola oil
salt
1 1/2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
12 extra large eggs (egg substitute works too!)
Montreal Steak Seasoning (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a bowl, combine hash browns, canola oil, cheese and about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.  Divide among 12 JUMBO, greased muffin tins.

Press mixture into bottom and up sides. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown.  Remove from oven. (Note:  This step can be done in advance if you find you are short on time in the morning!)

Crack one egg into each hash brown nest.  Bake for another 10 - 15 minutes, depending on how done you like your eggs.  Remove from muffin tins and season with Montreal Steak Seasoning.  (My favorite seasoning.  Salt and pepper works, too!)

Note:  If you don't have jumbo muffin pans, use 2 regular muffin tins and large eggs.  Extra large or jumbo eggs will tend to overflow!

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for ...

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

Image
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Candy Cornucopia

Image
I wasn't sure if I should call these "Candy Corn"ucopia or "Waffle Cone"ucopia.   Either way, I thought they would make a cute Thanksgiving take home treat for the kids in 1st grade.   OK, forget the kids!  What grown-up wouldn't love a cone of treats sitting at their table? To make, simply buy some waffle cones and dip the edges in melted chocolate.  I added "Gold Sugar" to the edges to make them prettier!  Fill with Caramelized Crispy Snack Mix . Add candy corn and candy pumpkins. If you use them as a take home item, simply insert the waffle cones into cone-shaped cellophane bags. Tie with raffia. Don't forget to Give Thanks this Thanksgiving!
