Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
4. Divide the potato mixture evenly among 4 muffin tin wells, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottoms and up the sides to form small nests.
5. Bake the potato nests in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
6. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully crack one egg into each potato nest. Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
7. Allow the nests to cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully running a butter knife around the edges to loosen them from the tin. Gently lift them out with a spoon.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Upside Down Eggs in a Nest!
