They say... Or I've heard... (eggs)

I thought quail eggs were supposed to be like chicken eggs.
But what I am noticing is there does not seem like the same amount of yolk.

I think I am taking into account the size difference. But compared to a chicken egg, where you can break the yolk on a SSU egg and it runs all over, I'm finding quail eggs lacking that. Even on a small scale. There just isn't enough yolk to dip a piece of toast into. Or to run over the food underneath.
But they are delicious.

Kind of cool to cook four eggs at once in a Griswold No3 though.

Just bite sized yolks instead of a big messy one that runs everywhere (and really easy to overlook)!

Yes, exactly.
Not really like a chicken egg at all.

The general 3:1 ratio doesn't seem like it would work very well as a recipe substitution.
And I was looking forward to that.

I'll know for for certain when I go to make something requiring an egg wash for breading.

A better measurement for chicken egg substitution is 1/4 cup for a large egg.

That makes better sense already.
