Yield: 8 Nests

Nest
- 1 egg
- 3 cups chow mein noodles
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- Lettuce leaves

Egg Salad
- 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- Mayonnaise
- Chopped celery
- Chopped red peppers
- Finely chopped onion
- Minced fresh parsley
- Seasoned salt

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, beat egg. Add chow mein noodles and garlic salt; stir to coat. Drop by 1/3 cupfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Using fingers, shape each into a nest; make an indentation in the center of each. Bake at 350 degrees F for 11-13 minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. In a bowl, make your favourite egg salad. You can use the ingredients that I used.

3. Just before serving, spoon 1/4 cupful into eat nest. Serve on a lettuce-lined plate if desired.

Notes: Made this as an appetizer for my family's valentines dinner. The chow mein didn't look ready, so I left them in the oven for longer but they ended up a bit on the hard side.
