Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cook bacon in large, heavy skillet(I use cast iron) until crisp and break into small pieces OR, do like I do... slice the bacon into small pieces, first, then fry. It works great and takes less time! :)
  2. Set aside but reserve grease in skillet.
  3. For Hash Brown Baskets
  4. Beat 2 eggs in large glass bowl with a lil salt and pepper.
  5. Add hash browns, add about 1T of reserved bacon grease, sprinkle top of potatoes with corn starch and then toss to mix, well. Try not to break up the potatoes too much, though.
  6. Spray muffin tins with no stick spray.
  7. Fill 12(may need a couple more cups, or you may have a lil left over... I didn't) muffin tins with potato mixture.
  8. Gently press middle down so that you create a well in the hash browns. You want to make sure the bottom is covered, but don't leave it too thick or you won't end up with much of a cup! :) See Photo
  9. Bake on the bottom rack of oven for about 35-40 min, at 400. You want the tops to be golden brown and the potatoes warmed through and done. See Photo
  10. Let rest in baking tin while preparing filling.
  11. For Eggs
  12. Beat remaining eggs well with a lil more salt and pepper, celery powder, mustard, cream and hot sauce.
  13. Heat bacon grease back up in skillet over medium/low heat.
  14. Scramble eggs, whisking well to break eggs up, well.
  15. When eggs begin to set around edges, add bacon, cheese and green onion and continue to whisk and stir until done.
  16. To Serve
  17. Carefully remove baskets from pan. Mine came right out, no problems, but a toothpick run around the rim should loosen it plenty, if needed.
  18. Fill hash brown nests with egg mixture.
