Remember the two angels from this post? Everytime they come to my place, something special always seem to happen and this time was no exception. It was rainy, day was gloomy and the kids got hungry. They asked me to make some thing with cheese - "I luv jeeze - lotta jeez" said the little one. Her mother informed me that although she has just started making sentences, she can ask for cheese (jeez, i.e) very well and thats the first thing she ever said!:) Adorable! I had some Ricotta cheese waiting to be used, a little slab of Parmesan and was wondering what I could make for them when it happened!!!
Last time they had visited us, there was a bird's nest right outside our house, on the porch light where we could see all the eggs. It was right where we could sit in our living room and check them out. It had 4 eggs, brown and cute. The kids spent hours last time (I had to lift them every 5 minutes to let them check if they have hatched or not! My hands were paining like crazy at the end of the day! Oh well that's a topic for another day!) The eggs dint hatch that day although they did 2 days later and I went on to see little ones being hatched, open their sweet beaks to get food from mama bird, take their first flight and then leave the nest for ever! Capturing them in photo was really hard given that they were so close. The smart mama bird seemed to have tought them well..the minute the little ones see us watching, they will lie down subdued but the minute we hide or go away from their line of sight they will start chirping like crazy :) It was funny indeed!
So when the little ones came this time and found the nest empty with only Bird droppings inside, the little one started crying. She wanted to see the eggs. I was amazed how she rememberd this after all this while. Thats when I told them that we would make our own eggs and put them in our own nest - clean one and not filled with droppings.
I also told them, these will be delicious looking ones and which they can eat too :) :) So here are my eggs and nests
Method
Grind the bread slices to make fresh bread crumbs. This should make approximately 2 cups.
Add all the ingredients together.
It will come together into one dough
Make small balls out of it and then coat it with bread crumbs
Drop them in a hot oil
and fry them until golden brown
Serve warm, as they are or with ketchup.
I used cilantro leaves to make the nest and placed these goodies in the middle.
Which of these final photos should I send to Click ? One of the two in the top of this page or one of the two at the bottom? Can you help me decide?
Update: Thanks Guyz. I have decided to send the second last snap for the event.
Sending these over to Trupti's MBP : Kids event. This recipe has been inspired by Amy Savoury Ricotta Fritters post
Sending the snap to Jugalbandi's Click : Tofu/Cheese Event
