These crispy phyllo pastry nests, filled with our jar of Jean Martin Eggplant Parmesan and an egg, make for an original and gourmet appetizer.
Preparation
- Fold the phyllo pastry sheets in half and cut out a circle with a diameter slightly larger than your ramekins.
- Arrange 4 layers of phyllo pastry per mold and brush with Jean Martin Pistou.
- Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of Jean Martin Eggplant Parmesan into each ramekin and crack an egg into each one.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
- Top each mold with a handful of crumbled feta and a sprig of thyme. It’s ready!
Our tip
Make sure to layer the 4 sheets of phyllo by offsetting them slightly: this creates that lovely ruffled nest effect and ensures a nice, crispy bottom.
Variation
Replace the feta with grated parmesan for a more classic version.
Pairings & suggestions
These nests are best enjoyed as an appetizer with a Provence rosé or a dry white wine.

Storage
These nests are best enjoyed hot, straight out of the oven, as the egg does not store well once cooked. The base can be assembled in advance and kept in the refrigerator before baking.
