Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ideas please... I'm already over run with chicken eggs and now we have 4 girl japenese quail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEllis Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 You could sell some, they are nice in salads i guess? Boil a load of them and stick them in a salad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Pickle them We always used to boil ours and put the in vinegar with the shells still on - vinegar breaks down the shells. Otherwise see if friends/family want some, or make ice cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisEllis Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Otherwise see if friends/family want some, or make ice cream How you make ice cream with them? and is it possible to just have eggs on toast, or 'many' eggs on toast lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 There is a restaurant that I go to that makes mini scotch eggs with quails eggs. They are stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks, I think it may just be "many eggs on toast" that I go for... I'm not much of a cook.. I will let you know what it tastes like. Might be able to throw some in a salad too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Poach them and as you pull one out of the pan and put another in, eat one I absolutely love poached quails eggs, they are better than sweets as far as I'm concerned. You can poach a load in advance, just 10-20 secs, lift out and into iced water, if you want them hot drop into a bowl of boiled water just before serving but nice cold to with some salt. Look lovely ontop of risotto, or in a salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sell them to a local delicatessen or the like or just to friends and family. They are lovely softly boiled in a nice salad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 yes, we have tried them and they are lovely.. The girls did fry some! lol.. they were so small. We are getting so many it's great. I'm giving them away to friends and neighbours (the decent ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I make those too - Rosie's favourites... and she's not generally keen on eggs I sometimes make a fish salad with soft poached, warm quails eggs on top... delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I did have an amazing muffin recipe,which has a whole quails egg broken into the centre of the mix before baking.I will see if I can dig out edit - found it, bacon & egg breakfast muffins. Its a JPEG file as its a scan,but if you would like it,or if anyone else would,pm me your email address 7 I will send it as an attachment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 wow - sounds fab.... just wish I'd somewhere to put some quails !!! Do you pickle normal hens eggs like you would quail eggs then - ie boil in the shells and pickle in the shells ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Otherwise see if friends/family want some, or make ice cream How you make ice cream with them? The same as with normal eggs - only use 4 quail eggs to one chicken egg Do you pickle normal hens eggs like you would quail eggs then - ie boil in the shells and pickle in the shells ? I think you have to peel chicken eggs before pickling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 There is a restaurant that I go to that makes mini scotch eggs with quails eggs. They are stunning We make our scotch eggs with either bantam eggs or quail eggs. We also use them in salads and son loves them poached for breakfast...I know it's faffy but he enjoys them.
