Hi. I've been given 12 quails eggs, need to know a simple recipe, never had quails eggs before. cheers.?

Soft boil them and serve over warm asparagus with shards of Parmesan cheese. Mmmmhhhh. Cook one or two first to get the boiling time correctly. You don't want them all hard.

Better make sure they are not ';fertile.'; %26lt;}:-})
They taste the same as chickens eggs so their real purpose is to make something look pretty.


Keep them for a week or so before you boil them as they are really hard to peel especially if they are fresh.


Salad is good, you can also marinade them after they have been hard boiled and peeled and put them on kebabs with cherry tomatoes and prawns.
My husband is from mexico, and LOVES them. He drinks them raw (like Rocky lol), or he makes scrambled eggs with them and eats them with hot corn tortillas and salsa.





12 eggs won't go far, though. We had to order 48 of them to just make a couple meals.





Here in the states they are about $1 per egg at Dean%26amp;Deluca....in mexico, you can get a couple dozen for $1.
QUAIL EGG OMELETS














12 quail eggs


1/8 cup of milk


1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce


4 strips of fried bacon


1/4 cup of grated pepper jack cheese


2 slices of cheddar cheese





Using a mixing bowl, add the 12 quail eggs, the milk, Tabasco, and grated pepper jack cheese.





Mix these ingredients together in your bowl. Pour into a pre-heated frying pan, cook until fluffy and add your strips of bacon to the center of the omelet, fold your omelet over, add the two slices of cheddar cheese over the top. Quail eggs cook differently from chicken eggs. They are more fluffy and make great omelets and scrambled eggs. The recipe above is for a very large omelet.








Scotch Quail Eggs








1 dozen quail eggs, boiled hard (7 min.) cooled and peeled. 1 lb. lean finely ground pork 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. ground allspice 1 1/2 tsp. salt (more if preferred) 1 tsp. ground pepper 2 slices brown bread soaked in water and squeezed dry 1 egg 1 cup ground almonds





Mix all of the above ingredients excluding the quail eggs and the ground almonds to a smooth consistency. Cook a tiny sample in a frying pan to test for seasoning. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Dry the quail eggs with paper towel and fully encase each egg with a nice layer of the meat. Working with moist hands will facilitate this process. Roll each Scotch quail egg into the ground almonds and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown and thoroughly cooked (approx. 1 minute).

go to Wal-mar and thay will give you a recipe for what u need to know
Hard boiled.... let cool and then toss in a salad.


If you had more you could have pickled them.
boil them, take out the shell like you do with chicken egg and include them in your soup.
You can cook them just like a normal egg, boil, fry, or pickle them!! They are a bit richer than a chicken egg, but very good! I prefer them pickled with spices.
