Noodle Nest Base

Bird Filling

Garnish

Method

Prepare Noodle Nest Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Noodles

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Butter Mixture

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles back into the pot along with salt and black pepper, stirring until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Nests

    Using a fork, twirl the noodle mixture into small nests or nests on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to create a small indentation in the center of each nest for the filling.

Prepare Bird Filling

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, diced green onions, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Fill the Nests

    Spoon the chicken filling into the center of each noodle nest, ensuring they are generously filled.

Bake and Garnish

  1. 6

    Bake the Nests

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the nests for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are slightly crispy and the filling is heated through.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese if desired. Serve warm.
