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:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Draw eight 3-inch egg shapes on a piece of parchment. Place on a baking sheet, marked-side down.
- Beat egg whites, lemon juice, and vanilla on medium-low until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and gradually add sugar. Increase speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Sift cornstarch over bowl and fold into whites with lemon zest.
- Fit a pastry bag with a large fluted tip (such as Ateco #825) and fill bag with meringue. Secure corners of parchment to baking sheet with dabs of meringue. Pipe a border of meringue along the inside of an egg shape, then add an extra layer around perimeter to form a 1-inch collar. Pipe a dab of meringue in the center and smooth with the back of a spoon to create an indentation. Repeat with remaining egg shapes.
- Bake 1 hour. Reduce heat to 175 degrees and bake until meringue has dried and is firm enough to pull off the baking sheet, 3 to 4 1/2 hours. Let cool completely before filling with curd and sprinkling with poppy seeds.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give you the best results in terms of flavor and texture.
- Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the egg nests from sticking and breaking.
- Cook the egg nests over medium-low heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Don't overcook the egg nests. They should be cooked until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Season the egg nests with your favorite herbs and spices. This will help them taste even better.
- Serve the egg nests immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Egg nests are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal on a busy weekday morning, or for a special occasion brunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
