Ingredients
Potato Nest
- 3 cups hash browns
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 lemon zested
Filling
- 2 cups frozen spinach thawed or fresh
- 4 garlic cloves crushed and chopped
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1/2 cup Boursin cheese
- 4 tbsp milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 400°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix the hash browns with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, chopped green onions, the zest from half a lemon, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. With a spatula gently stir the potatoes thoroughly.
- Brush olive oil in the interior of a non-stick 12 cup-muffin tin or use a muffin stone bakeware. Carefully mold the hash browns in each muffin cup, pressing the sides and forming a small well in the center. Bake for 20 minutes, until they start to brown lightly. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Place spinach in a colander to drain water out and sauté in remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and garlic, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs and milk with a pinch of salt. Add the Boursin and goat cheese, mix well until smooth and creamy. With a spatula fold in sautéed spinach and garlic and incorporate completely.
- Using a spoon, fill the potato cups with the spinach/egg mixture and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before carefully unmolding the nests.
