How to Make Easter Egg Baskets Sp5

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a large (12-cup) nonstick muffin tin.
  2. Press shredded potatoes firmly into each muffin cup, forming a cup shape extending up the sides. Make sure the potatoes are evenly distributed for even cooking.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. While the potato cups are baking, prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  5. Stir in the finely diced ham.
  6. Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly into the cooled potato cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the potatoes are golden brown. Use a toothpick inserted into the center of an egg cup to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
  8. While the egg nests are baking, cook the bacon until crisp. Place cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  9. Once the egg nests are done, carefully remove them from the muffin tin. Gently bend each bacon slice into a handle shape and place one on top of each potato cup.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Easter Egg Baskets!
