BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS



Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups image

I got the basics of this recipe from a friend of mine and thought it was a great idea since these little nests can be made ahead, which I love. They are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your own tastes. I not only use the recipe as a delicious grab-and-go breakfast, but serve it to guests nestled into some lovely cheese grits, alongside fresh fruits and French toast made on a panini press. Oh, and don't forget the mimosas!

Tips:

  • Selecting the right apples: Choose firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well when baked. Good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Preparing the apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into uniform slices. This will ensure even cooking and a neat presentation.
  • Soaking the apples in lemon water: This helps prevent the apples from browning and keeps them moist during baking.
  • Using a variety of spices: Experiment with different spices to create unique flavor combinations. Popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
  • Adding crunchy toppings: For a textural contrast, consider adding a crunchy topping such as chopped nuts, granola, or streusel.
  • Baking until the apples are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the type of apples and the thickness of the slices. Use a toothpick or skewer to check the tenderness of the apples before removing them from the oven.
