Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Eggs in Hash Brown Baskets

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, combine hash browns with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Lightly grease a muffin tin and press the seasoned hash browns into each muffin cup to form nests.
Bake the muffin tin for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and crack a large egg into each hash brown basket, adding shredded cheese on top.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking.
Let the baskets cool slightly, then lift each out with a fork. Garnish and serve warm.
