Ingredients
-
1 box Kataifi Dough (thawed overnight in the fridge)
-
1/2 cup Salted Butter, melted (or high-quality olive oil)
-
Dried Herbs (optional, for “nest” color)
Instructions
-
The Damp Towel Rule: Kataifi dries out in minutes. Take out what you need and keep the rest covered with a damp paper towel at all times.
-
Butter the Strands: Pull a small “rope” of dough (about 1 inch thick and 8 inches long). Gently toss it in a bowl with melted butter until coated.
-
The Muffin Tin Hack: For uniform nests, wind the dough around two fingers and tuck it into a mini muffin tin. Use your thumb to press a “well” into the center.
-
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes. You are looking for a deep, golden honey color.
-
Cool: Let them cool completely in the tin before moving them. They are fragile!
