Quail eggs – they’re tiny, they’re cute, and they’ve gained some serious popularity over the years. Whether it’s for their nutritional value or just as a fancy garnish on a dish, these little guys have become quite the sensation. But what in the world can you actually do with them? Buckle up folks because today we are going to explore all sorts of amazing things you never knew you could do with those tiny little eggs!

Quail Egg Basics

Before we delve too deep into eggscellent recipes and uses, let’s take a quick primer on what exactly are quail eggs?

In short: quail eggs come from small birds called Quails (Coturnix Coturnix). These birds typically lay anywhere between 4-8 eggs per day (chicken who??) which means that if one is lucky enough to find themselves in possession of these little guys – well then you better get cracking! (pun intended)

Ranging about one-sixth to one-fifth of chicken egg sizes and weighing roughly 9 grams each; quail eggs pack a lot of punch. They contain nearly twice as much Vitamin A,B1,B2,B6,B12,Iron & Zinc than your average domesticated chicken egg!

Quails not only need less space but also require less food compared to chickens which makes it easier for people living in smaller spaces like apartments, balconies etc.

Now that we know how cool quaiI’eggs are; let us now talk about some quirky ways you can make use out of them.

#1 Hard Boiled & devilled

Okay so starting off simple here… Firstly hard-boiling is definitely an option for these little guys when used best way possible.
Once boiled , return them quickly into cold water marked by ice cubes so they become easy to peel.

But have you ever heard of quail egg deviled eggs? Instead of making your traditional devilled eggs with chicken eggs, why not switch it up and use everybody’s favourite – the quail egg!

Directions:
1. Boil one dozen quail eggs
2. Peel them (after cooling)
3. Slice each in half
4. Mix together mayonnaise , mustard & paprika
5. Use a piping bag or spoon to portion out mixture onto top of sliced halves.

Don’t be surprised if these don’t last too long!
