BIRDS NEST RECIPE

Our YMCA Lifestyle Coach, Jessica Haims, shares one of her favorite recipes for Easter Sunday. It's the perfect recipe for a brunch snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole-wheat English muffin
• Shredded carrots (grated or pre-shredded is fine)
• 2 tablespoons of light cream cheese
• Optional: 1 hard-boiled egg

Directions:

• Cut English muffin in half and toast until edges are golden brown (about 4 - 6 minutes depending on your toaster oven)
• Remove from the toaster oven and spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each side of the English muffin.
• Use the carrots to decorate the edges of the English muffin making a bird's nest!
• Optional: if you have a hard-boiled egg cut it in the shape of a circle and place it in the center!
• Enjoy!
