  • Squeeze any excess moisture out of the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Combine the potato and parmesan in a bowl.

  • Add half of the bacon to your cups and half of your chives.
  • Crack one small egg into each cup.
  • Top with the remaining bacon and chives.

  • You can serve these Mother’s Day breakfast cups hot or cold.

While this Mother’s Day breakfast recipe makes 8 cups, you can always double up and make extra. She might like to nibble on some more around lunch time because they are simply irresistible! You can serve them along with some fresh orange juice, follow the meal with some coffee or tea and be sure to have something sweet like fresh scones on hand too.
