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
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
5. Bake the potato nests in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Upside Down Eggs in a Nest!
