Phyllo Nests

Speckled jelly-bean "eggs" in a crispy phyllo nest make for a sweetly seasonal dessert. Use kataifi, pre-shredded phyllo, which is sold frozen at Greek grocers and large supermarkets.

The nests are so cute and taste delicious. I prefer using colored chocolate malt eggs or colored chocolate truffle eggs than the jelly beans. It makes it a more sophisticated dessert and I think the chocolate goes better with the delicacy of the nest.
