Scrambled Egg Nests ~ So Cute For Easter Breakfast!

 Easter + Eggs + Nests = A cute idea for breakfast!  Making these hash brown nests was insanely easy…maybe easier than making hash browns in a pan!  For as much as I cook, I admit that I am an utter failure when it comes to making hash browns correctly.  (While I’m admitting things, I suck at making Jell-O too!  I know, shameful.)  But, these were fool-proof…let me explain…
Alright, so you heat your oven to 375 degrees.  Pour a bag of defrosted, shredded hash browns into a bowl and pour 1/2 a stick of melted butter on top.  Stir and add several shakes of salt and pepper.  Using a jumbo-sized muffin tin, press some of the mixture in the bottom and up the sides of each…thing.  I can’t think of the right word.  My jumbo tins have 6…things…, and my mixture filled up each one.  I guess I could have done 7, but there wasn’t enough things.  What’s the word, dang-it!?!
Anyway, pop the tin in the oven and bake for maybe 30 minutes, or more.  When the top edges start to brown, barely lift one out and see if the outer edges have browned.  The inner nest won’t get as crispy/golden.  So, check by looking at the outside…when the outside is crispy/golden, they’re done.
Make your scrambled eggs.  If I wasn’t feeding these to my little ones, I would have added chopped green/red peppers, cheese, sausage, you name it…but, no.  Plain eggs. They also quite like a plain egg in egg cups, those weirdo kids…
 When the nests are done, let them cool for maybe 5-10 minutes, and they should easily come right out of the tin.  Load it up with your scrambled eggs.  Done!
Ooh, ooh….I forgot to tell you…I’ve been asked to be a regular contributor for Make and Takes, sharing “family ideas.”  Yes, you know…that HUGE blog!  I’m excited!  So, you’ll be seeing me randomly over there.  I’ll be sure to let you know when I am 🙂

    Good call on these nests, Mariel. My wife might be the biggest fan of hash browns on the planet. She could seriously eat them everyday. I wish I was kidding. Anyway, this will be my surprise breakfast on Easter. Thanks for the idea. I’ll feel like such a creative husband that day 🙂

    Congrats on the contributor thing, too. You write well.

    Yum. I think the word you’re looking for is…’well’? Are they called cupcake wells? Who knows…we all knew what you meant!

    So cute. Love it and can’t wait to try it. It reminds me of a yummy dish we had at a local breakfast restaurant here in Portland that I have been wanting to recreate – you did it for me!!

    I’ve been looking forward all week to surprising my 5 teenagers with this awesome idea. I’m doing it tomorrow morning to help ease some of the post- Easter letdown ; ) I’m also a hash brown failure, so I can’t wait!!!
