How to Make Bird's Nest Breakfast

  1. Peel 2 medium-sized potatoes and grate them into a large bowl.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the grated potatoes to the pan, spreading them evenly to form a thin layer.
  4. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully with a spatula.
  5. Once golden brown, use the back of a spoon to gently create a well or indentation in the center of each potato nest.
  6. Crack 2 large eggs into each indentation.
  7. Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  9. Carefully remove the potato nests from the pan and serve immediately.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley and serve with 2-3 slices of bacon or ham.
