Preparation method
Blanch the nettles in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately cool them in ice water and then squeeze out the water. Blend them in a mixer with garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil until a smooth pesto is formed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the nettle leaves on a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly brush them with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan. Bake at 180 °C for about 6–8 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. Boil the quail eggs in boiling water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Then immediately cool and peel them.
Lightly brush the bread with olive oil and toast it in a dry pan until crispy.
