Good Uses for Quail Eggs

[igorsMistress]

I cut the eggs with quail egg scissors and gently just drop them in soup. Boil them for 3-4 mins and they stay intact asView attachment 1539171 egg balls. Stunningly easy and amazingly nice.

I think there are folks in the Show Off Your Yum photo thread that would like your pics. We'd love to see you there, here's a link

I was wondering about those scissors, if they're worth the investment or not. Looks delicious!

Check eBay, I got mine for less than $2, same scissors other places are selling for over $5

Scissors made all the difference in my quail-cooking. Got some on Amazon (but would definitely go through eBay if I had to do it again!). No more fumbling with a knife.

The eggs are versatile, and just the right size: dropped in ramen, whole in curry, boiled for snacks. Sometimes I dye them, because I like they way they look in packed lunches.

How do you store your quail eggs?

I got one pair sent out to me from ebay UK (I live in the UK). It cost about 2.5 GBP each, then i saw some in china at about 1 GBP each. I ordered 5 for friends and family. I would order some now if i were in the USA, before you get stung with an additional 25% import tax .

Egg scissors are totally worth it. The eggs aren't as brittle as chicken eggs, so you don't get a clean break without them and you end up with shell fragments as well.

Like other eggs, quail eggs can be stored at room temp for a couple of weeks as long as you don't wash away the bloom.

Thanks @Erkenstein

I ordered egg flats and two pairs of the scissors were for $6.99, good to have a spare set.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, my husband likes to boil them, peel them and then put them in jalopeno or habanero pepper juice. He loves them like that.
I never thought of putting them in soup yummy-licious!

I usually cook them softboiled, eaten plain or chopped up with some pasta.

If you like pickled eggs that's a great way to preserve them in case you have too many or want to give to family/friends.
