  • 5. Put baking sheet of prepared pretzels into the oven for about 4 - 6 minutes.
  • 6. Remove the baking sheet from oven, put two M & M candy on each Hershey's Kiss with the writing side down, or one egg shaped Reeses Pieces. Gently press the M & M or Reeses Pieces down to "seat it into the chocolate and to press the chocolate into the pretzel.

EASTER EGG NESTS



Easter Egg Nests image

These are so pretty as an Easter treat. I've seen these topped with "Peeps" as well. They're a fun, but messy project but who doesn't mind licking chocolate off of their fingers??? Choose your favorite flavor of Jelly Bellys to decorate them with and then drop a few Jelly Bellys on the serving place as garnish. The original recipe is from my grandmother - adapted to make Easter Egg Nests.

Categories     Bread     Egg     Bake

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil spray
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds or ground cumin
2 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 medium russet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 dried ancho or other chile, stemmed, seeded, and crushed
1/2 head Savoy cabbage, shredded or thinly sliced
4 large eggs
2 thick slices rustic bread, preferably whole grain and/or seeded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
  • Scatter the cumin seeds in the pot, followed by the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Toss in the potato cubes and lightly season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the chile.
  • Pack in the cabbage. Make four wells in the cabbage, each large enough to hold an egg. Then crack each egg into a well, keeping the yolks intact. It's okay if the eggs leak out of their individual wells slightly. Lay the bread slices on top.
  • Cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
