Eggs in a basket

These are cute for a weekend brunch.
Very easy to do - a crowd pleaser :)


Ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray 
  • 6 eggs (1 per person)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese (any kind will do the job) 

Directions

Special equipment: jumbo sized 6-cup muffin tin

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push chunks of the potato through the chute to grate. Once all the potatoes are grated, put them into a piece of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture. Add the potatoes to a large bowl, stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spray the muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Press the grated potatoes evenly into the muffin cups being sure the potatoes go up the sides and a thin layer and covers the bottom (shapped like a nest). Bake until the top edges turn light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes.


Remove the potatoes from the oven and gently crack an egg into each cup. Bake until the egg whites set but the yolk remains runny, about 9 - 11 minutes.

Remove from the oven and set the oven to broil. Top the eggs with grated cheese for it to melt, 1 minute.
