Quest 42: Loftwing Nests

Skyward Sword is a great game. The idea that an entire society can live hundreds of miles above the rest of the world and no one notices takes the idea of Laputa: Castle in the Sky to a whole different level. Have you ever wondered about where the Loftwings go at night? You can't fly around, so they must go to sleep somewhere. Well today, we are going to make Loftwing nests to give them somewhere to sleep. These are a little time consuming, but not terribly difficult to make. They look super fancy and would certainly dress up any Mario Party or other Zeldathon that you may be planning to entertain your friends. Enjoy!

8 oz. Hard Cheese such as Parmesan - buy a chunk, not the pre-shredded
Cookie Sheet
Microplane
Offset Spatula
Muffin Tin or small cups
Silicone Mat
1 cup Mini Mozzarella Balls
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 cup Grape Tomatoes cut in half - I used both red and yellow
3 oz. Prosciutto Ham, cut into small ribbons
2 T. Garlic Olive Oil
1 T. Balsamic Vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

The Quest!

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Place your silicone mat onto your cookie sheet. Using the microplane, shred your cheese making round shapes for your nests.

Bake your nests for about 5 minutes or until just starting to brown.




Remove from oven and let the cheese sit for 1-2 minutes to let the cheese cool. Place on the back of the muffin tin or cups using an offset spatula. Form to the shape of the cups. Set aside to cool completely.





Let's make the salad! This part is super easy. in a bowl, add your drained mozzarella balls (if they are larger-quarter them), grape tomatoes, prosciutto and mix them together. Tear your basil into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Toss this mixture with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. That's it!




Put it all together by taking your cheese nest and spooning a reasonable amount to the salad into the cheese. Line them up on a platter and enjoy!
