Bird's nests with quail's eggs and cheddar
An exciting play on a delicate dish – our recipe for Bird's nests with quail's eggs and cheddar make for a unique twist on a simple dish. Resting on a nest of fresh vegetables, boiled quail eggs sit aside shavings of cheddar, leaving plenty of room for flavours to flourish on their own.
Ingredients
130 g green asparagus
75 g sprouts (I’ve used onion and radish seed sprouts)
12 quail eggs
pepper
Preparation
Preparation
Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water for approx. 2 min., then set aside to cool.
Boil the eggs for 3 min.
Cut the asparagus and Castello® Mature Cheddar into thin strips (it’s easiest to use a peeler).
Layer the dish on small plates. Place asparagus on the bottom, then top with the shoots shaped like a little nest. Then top with cheddar and a couple of eggs. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper.
