Quail eggs

Quail eggs are nutritious and protein-packed, just like regular chicken eggs and are prepared in much the same way. When boiling, remember to reduce the cooking time, as they are much smaller than chicken eggs and therefore cook more quickly. 4 minutes is typically enough time for a perfect hard-boiled egg. Then peel them and serve cut in half on open-faced tartines or in salads. You could also try pickled quail eggs (by boiling with beets, distilled white vinegar, sugar and red pepper flakes) for a tangy, bright pink accompaniment to your cold dishes. If you prefer them hot, fry them sunny side-up and serve for breakfast with toast and bacon.
