This recipe is too much work for me for everyday use, but makes it all the yummier on holidays.

2 1/2 c flour

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs

1 T butter

1 t salt

Combine and knead 5 minutes.(This is a stiff dough). Let rest 10 minutes before rolling out as thin as you can. I use lot of extra flour during this step. Cut into strips with pizza cutter. Toss with more flour to prevent noodles from sticking. You can freeze now to boil later, or go on to boil your noodles in chicken broth.

3 Blocks of ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese

1/2 Cup sugar

1 Tablespoon vanilla

14 Quail eggs-ROOM TEMPERATURE

1 Bag of white baking chips

1/2 Cup whipping cream

2 Store bought chocolate pie crusts or 1 homemade crust in springform pan

Mix together ROOM TEMP cream cheese with sugar. Add in ROOM TEMP eggs and vanilla. (yes the room temp is important! If you use cold, than your whole cheesecake will be lumpy! Melt together in microwave chips and cream- these chips melt at a low temp so 30 seconds should do it- mix until smooth and pour into cream cheese mixture. Mix together. Pour into pan(s) Bake at 325 degrees. 40 min for 2 pans or 55 for 1 big pan. Cheese cake is done when slightly set. Remove from oven and cool. Refrigerate overnight. Add favorite toppings. Strawberries, cherries or raspberries are used around here!

You can also do stir ins- 2 teaspoons of fruit syrups, mini chocolate chips etc. before baking.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Quail egg pasta”][vc_column_text]My new kick has been making homemade pasta using my backyard chicken and duck eggs that I have in excess. Pasta has turned out great. Today I decided to make fresh egg pasta using the quail eggs. I cracked open 50 quail eggs and weighed them, then multiplied the weight x 1.5 and that is the amount of flour to add and mix it all together for an awesome dough. I made angel hair pasta with it. It was the best batch of pasta I’ve ever eaten. I also made a batch of Fettucini and still have 3 more balls of dough  to use at a later time.

As you can see there are many variations such as the sun-dried tomato fettuchini , meat filled raviolis, and spinach fettuchini
