BIRD'S NEST BREAKFAST CUPS
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!

Steps:
- Place a very large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the oil and garlic clove into the skillet and gently infuse the garlic flavor into the oil. In the meantime, using a round cookie cutter or an empty can, cut out the center of all 6 slices of bread. Add the prepared bread slices to the garlic infused oil. Crack the eggs 1 at a time and drop them into their "nests" or, the center of each slice of bread. Drain and slice red pepper. Add a strip or 2 of red pepper to each nest. Season the birds in their nests with salt and pepper and sprinkle a little cheese into each nest. Gently turn the birds in their nests and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in their nests 5 minutes more, then transfer to a platter and serve.
BREAKFAST BIRD'S NEST
My grandmother and mom both made these for me when I was very little and now I make them for my little ones. They love their eggs made this way. Some people call them "egg in a window", but my mom always called them "bird's nests". Kids love them, but I still make them for myself :) There's just something yummier about the "dipping" toast being fried in butter instead of just popped in the toaster, and after dipping, the egg white tastes great with the fried bread from the "nest".

Tips for Making Bird's Nests with Fruity Eggs:
- To easily shape the wonton wrappers, use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter. Simply press the cutter into the wrapper, and the excess dough will be removed, leaving you with a perfect circle.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can also make these bird's nests in a pot of boiling water. Just place the wonton nests in a steamer basket or colander, and set it over the pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the nests for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs. The center of the egg should still be slightly runny when you remove it from the nest.
- For a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of honey. You can also add a bit of chili sauce for a spicy kick.
Conclusion:
Bird's nests with fruity eggs is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy wonton shells, soft and custardy eggs, and sweet and tangy dipping sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this recipe a try!
