BEFORE COOKING:

Quail eggs are thoroughly washed with cold water.

COOK:

Place the quail eggs into boiling water (unlike chicken eggs, they will not crack). For soft-boiled quail eggs, cook for 1–2 minutes; for hard-boiled, cook for 5 minutes.

AFTER COOKING:

To make peeling easier, after boiling, cover the eggs with cold water and let them sit for 3–4 minutes.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Boiled eggs are great for various sandwich spreads, salads, and broths. Hard-boiled eggs can also be stuffed with ham, tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and many other ingredients.

Enjoy your meal!
