Potato Egg Nest
This Potato Egg Nest recipe is one of my favorite Easter breakfast dishes. These nests look so cute with their yellow egg yolk centers. Whenever I cook potatoes around Easter time, I always make sure I cook a bit extra so that I can make these delicious nests.
Take cooked potatoes and mash them, season with salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs, bacon, parsley and cheese and shape into potato patties. Using a small glass, make an indent in the center of each patty. Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and cheese. Place an egg yolk in the center of each patty and bake in the oven. Simple and delicious!
To make Potato Egg Nest, you will need the following ingredients:

5 Stars all the way, this is just to cute and creative to recieve anything less.

Not only cute but delicious, really liked making this and going ot be making it a lot more often due to the taste.
This was super good and such a unique looking plate, I love it!
Totally obsessed with this cute potato egg nest, Now all that's left is to some how make a baby chick oout of a potato like the deviled egg chick recipe, lol!
Great recipe thanks so much for sharing will be making this sometime soon again.
Perfection, honestly the flavours are really well blended and this taste great.
Extremely filling and good if you want to make something fast, easy and affordable.
I added bacon bits ontop of mine because I wanted something on the top to make it look a bit more decorated.
Hubby really enjoyed this even though he said it isn't enough to just make one, he thought next time we'll serve this as a side dish with some lemon chicken :)
My kids honestly are obsessed with helpiing me make anything from this site because they always have something that looks so cool.
Took a long time to make this but it was fine to the taste, just needed a bit more salt in my opinion.
Kinda looks more like an eye to me but I enjoyed the way it tasted anyway, thx.
Thanks for this awesome recipe!
