Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes until partially cooked. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. When cool, chop bacon.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese. With the back of a spoon, make 8 wells in the hash brown mixture. Break an egg in each well. Then sprinkle the bacon over the pan.
