Bird's nest pie from My Pizza: The Easy No-Knead Way to Make Spectacular Pizza at Home by Jim Lahey and Rick Flaste

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • sosayi on May 22, 2018

    I loved the combo of flavors: asparagus, Saint Nectaire (I subbed a similar cheese), parmesan, and gooey eggs. I also added some truffle oil on top, which is mentioned on the Serious Eats' review of the recipe, but not in the book. I'd definitely make it again, but with a few tweaks. First, make sure you have LARGE asparagus for making ribbons. Second, if you're substituting regular eggs, make sure to cook them a bit longer. I added a bit of time, but not enough. I'd say add from the beginning, but it also helps to crisp everything underneath up first... so maybe I'd make wells in the asparagus topping in advance of putting the pie in for an initial char. That way, the bottom in those spots would cook and set up faster, and I could add the eggs sooner. In all, a great spring pie.

    Aside from being one of the loveliest pizzas on the menu at Jim Lahey's pizzeria, Co., it's also the most spring appropriate.
