Have I got a recipe for you. You can do these Quail Egg Nests as an appetizer or and a breakfast food depending on which meat you use. If you use prosciutto they look very elegant and make fantastic hors d'oeuvres. I found the idea in a Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, but she never provided a recipe. After testing this out in my home my test subjects, my husband, Tom, and our dogs, a 7 month old Mini Doxie names Baby Girl, and Pip, our almost 5 year old English Mastiff, I found that if you’re looking for a fun breakfast these work for picky eaters, breakfast on the run, or just an everyday breakfast when using bacon or turkey bacon. You can use any herbs, fresh or dried, even though I think Martha would say, always fresh, organically grown, properly pruned herbs bushes in your very own arboretum you call a backyard.
