The basis of the dish is minced meat. Ideally fresh. For this recipe for meat nests with quail eggs, it is not allowed to use minced meat, which gives off a lot of liquid, because it is quite difficult to form nests from it. Moreover, when baking, they can creep over the baking sheet. Because of this, it is best not to use a commercially available frozen product. It is in it that there is a large amount of water.
In general, minced meat is made as for cutlets. For the bunch, we use a chicken egg, season with mustard, green onions, salt, pepper and your favorite spices. For filling and improving the taste, we also introduce bread crumbs.
We use quail eggs to fill the nest. Their small size allows you to drive in a whole egg, which in a finished dish looks much more spectacular than a beaten egg mass. And from hard cheese we make a delicious pillow.
