Hashbrown Potato Quail Egg Nests Recipe and Directions

Grate 3 average-sized russet potatoes.

Combine grated potatoes with 1 chicken egg (or 3-4 quail eggs), 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients well, breaking up the egg yolk and ensuring even distribution.

Spray hamburger bun molds with canola oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Divide the potato mixture into 7 or 8 portions and press them into the molds, creating a well in the center for the eggs.

Bake the nests in the oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and brown.

Once baked, crack quail eggs directly into the nests or scramble them first and pour them in.

Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and cheese on top of the eggs.

Optionally, add chives or other toppings like bacon bits.

Return the nests to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on desired egg doneness.
