How To Make Hash Brown Egg Nests
Preheat the oven to 400 F and generously grease a 6 cup muffin tin with oil or melted butter. In a bowl, combine the thawed out hash browns, cheddar cheese, olive oil (or melted butter), salt and pepper. Mix well.
Divide hash brown-cheese mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Press the hash browns down firmly along the shape of the cups.
Bake for 20 minutes to set the cups.
Lower the temperature of the oven to 350 F. Crack an egg into each cup and sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top of each egg.
Bake again for 15-18 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm and the yolks are at the desired level of doneness. Let them cool in the pan, before taking them out of the muffin tin.
Remove the Hash Brown Egg Nests by running a knife along their edges.
Serve warm, topped with a bit of parsley or any topping of choice.

How are these Whole30 approved with cheddar cheese? Also, butter isn’t whole30 approved…?
Marissa says
Hi Sara- You can use the oil vs the butter and as long as you are using REAL cheese it is allowed.
