Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups chow mein noodles
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • EGG SALAD:
  • 6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Lettuce Leaves

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, combine the first eight egg salad ingredients; mix well. Just before serving, spoon 1/4 cupful into each nest. Serve on a lettuce-lined plate if desired.

The little nests came out cute. There are better salad recipes out there but this wasn't too bad.
