Ingredients (Makes 4 nests)
- 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Optional: Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Hash Brown Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Form the Nests: Lightly spray a silicone muffin mold or ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Divide the hash brown mixture evenly into four portions and press each portion into the bottom and sides of the molds to form a nest shape.
- Cook the Nests: Place the molds in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden and crispy.
- Add the Eggs: Crack one egg into each nest. Season with salt and pepper. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
