Bird Nests (Paleo)


Bird Nests (Paleo)

2 eggs
1/2 cup Coconut, shredded
2 TBSP Almond Flour
Salt, just a pinch

1. Start by separating your two eggs. Do this gently. You do not want to break your yolk.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip your egg whites until white and stiff. I use a hand mixer for this. You can whisk it (takes forever) or use a standard counter mixer with a whisk attachment. This is turning your egg whites into meringue. Your meringue peaks should be stiff!
3. Gently fold your coconut and almond flour into the meringue.
4. Lay down a silicon baking mat or a piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. On top of this, you will want to create "nests" of your meringue. Leave a small indention in the center of your nest.
5. Place one yolk in the center of each nest. Sprinkle over your nest and yolk, a little bit of salt. I like to use alalea salt (Hawaiian pink) because it's a little flavorful compared to regular sea salt.
6. Bake at 375F for 13-15 minutes.
