Cooking times vary for different sizes with each gram increasing or decreasing cooking time by about 8 seconds.
Season with salt and pepper as a top little snack or breakfast.
See the post for more details on what to serve with.
Quail eggs should not be frozen. Neither cooked nor raw. It spoils the texture.
Can be kept cooked in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Conveniently store in the egg container you bought them in once cooked.
Quail eggs can be used instead of chicken eggs when a recipe is scaled-down and require less egg.
Once boiled they can also be pickled in vinegar and stored in the fridge for months.
