Steps

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment.
On the pan, toss the potato, diced yellow onion and red bell pepper with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper, then spread in one layer.
Roast for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Scatter the spinach over the hot potatoes and toss so it wilts, then shape the mixture into 8 small nests with a well in each.
Crack one egg into each well, using all 8 eggs.
Sprinkle the cheddar over the potatoes around the eggs.
Bake 10 to 13 minutes, until the whites are fully set and the yolks are thickened, reaching 160°F (71°C).
Top with the sliced green onions and serve 2 nests per person.
