The first time I made these edible hash brown bowls I topped them with Canadian bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce to create what I now refer to as a Bird’s Nest Benedict.
Since poached eggs can be kind of a pain in the ass to make sometimes though — seriously, no matter how often I make them I still screw them up one out of every five times — here’s a slight variation for you that uses scrambled eggs instead.
In retrospect though, I think this version of hash brown bowls is actually better than my original one. With the Bird’s Nest Benedict the hash brown bowls consisted of mostly wasted space since the poached eggs were sitting on top of them above the Canadian bacon. These however were packed with scrambled eggs and cheese that I then topped with diced bacon, chives and a Sriracha drizzle.
Plus, unlike regular scrambled eggs you don’t even need to use a fork to eat these! You can just pick them up with your hands and bite them like you would with an apple!
