Hash Brown Egg Nests with Avocado

These would be GREAT to serve as part of your Seahawks brunch this morning!! Go Hawks!!!!!!
(makes 8 nests)

15 oz. frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
1 cup sharp* cheddar cheese plus 1 T., shredded
1 T. EVOO
8 med. eggs
Kosher* salt and freshly* ground pepper, to taste
2 slices cooked uncured* applewood* smoked bacon, crumbled
1/2 T. flat-leaf* parsley, chopped
2 avocados, sliced and chilled

Preheat oven to 425. Mix hash browns, S&P, oil, and 1 cup of cheddar in a mixing bowl. Grease the muffin pan and divide the hash brown mixture into each cup. Use your fingers to pack them tightly and shape them into nests. Bake until the edges have browned and the cheese has melted, about 15 mins. Reduce oven heat to 350. Crack an egg into each nest and season with S&P. Top with crumbled bacon, 1 T. cheddar, and parsley. Bake until the egg whites set, about 13-16 mins. Let cool, then gently slide a knife along the edges and use a fork to lift them out of the pan. Arrange nests on a serving plate and serve with chilled avocado slices.
