Pickled quail eggs are fab! especially as a gift for xmas as they look so cool in a jar lol

http://buycoturnixquail.com/recipes/pickled-quail-eggs/

here is a basic recipe

i just use vinegar and a packet of pickling spice boil and cover the boiled eggs best to pay the kids to peel as it does take a bit lol
i also add sliced chilli but dont over do it lol half a chilli id plenty

i make jars of spicy pickled eggs all the time, got about 5 jars in the fridge. You could just boil them up and throw them in a food processor and give them back to the birds <_<

Quiche!
Super easy to make, good for any meal, freezes pretty well, uses whatever garden leftovers you have.

And if you are thinking "I don't LIKE quiche!" Hold on. Have you ever tried it with potato crust? Until you have, you don't know good quiche. (Plus the bonus is it is better for you than the fatty pie crust usually used)

Just lay about 1/4" of hashbrowns in the (greased) pie tin (with minced onions, garlic and shredded cheese if you so desire) flatten them well, and bake until golden brown/crispy. (500) Alternately, smash leftover tater tots and skip the crust baking step. (This negates the 'better for you' claim above)
Meanwhile, chop any veggies and cooked meats (my room mate LOVES pepperoni and olive, I like broccoli chicken, and I put spinach in ALL of them cuz everyone needs more greens in their diet!) and set aside. Really anything you would put in a scramble is good.
Shred cheese. Or open a bag of shredded cheese (my preferred method!) You don't need a whole lot, but you can use a lot if you like!
In a large bowl, mix eggs and milk (like you are making french toast) and add seasonings: salt, pepper, onion/garlic powder, rosemary, sage, basil, etc. You need 3-5 chicken eggs per quiche, not sure how many quail eggs it would take.
When the crust is browned, layer in your fillings (flat things like pepperoni and spinach first!) and top with shredded cheese.
Ladle in liquid until you can start to see the level of it in between your fillings- it takes less than you think. You CAN add more (almost up to the brim) but my crowd doesn't LIKE eggs, so I put the minimum in.
When you have the desired amount of goo, Bake about 30 minutes at 375. They are done when the middle doesn't jiggle when you shake it gently. If you are unsure, stab with a butter knife. If you have to CUT it, it is done. If not, it needs more time.
Every time I make these, I make a personal one for each adult and we seldom have leftovers. If we do, they go into the freezer. Even egg-haters like this dish. But the best part is how flexible it is. You can put almost anything in, in any combination and proprtion, and it turns out great! No recipe needed.

Enjoy!

Tam'ra of Rainbow Vortex - that looks like a very interesting recipe. I have never had quiche before, but I think that's something I'll definitely have to try!!

You can also make scotch eggs using quail eggs (either mini ones, or use multiple eggs for larger ones), I think there's is a recipe for them on the recipe section of this forum. I'll have a look and if I find it, I'll post it here
