PICKLED QUAIL EGGS - DILL PICKLING



Pickled Quail Eggs - Dill Pickling image

One of the advantages of quail eggs is they pickle so much faster than chicken eggs. You can buy pre-hard cooked quail eggs in cans at Asian grocery markets. Liquid volumes are approximate. For the pickle juice, just save old dill pickle jars with their liquid. Preparation time does not include marinating time. These will come out nicely yellowish-green.

NIF'S DILLED QUAIL EGGS



Nif's Dilled Quail Eggs image

Before you say "EWWW! Quail eggs!!!", you really have to try these. They are a lot like chicken eggs, but smaller (obviously!) and a little smoother tasting. My grocery store carries them but if you can't find them, check out an Asian market. I don't put a lot of seasoning into the deviled mixture because these little guys don't want to be overpowered. They present beautifully on a nest of persley or dill and taste very good. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 36 half eggs

Number Of Ingredients 5

18 quail eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use half fat Helllmann's)
1 teaspoon fresh dill
salt and pepper
fresh dill (to garnish, optional) (optional) or chives (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat water to boiling, gently set eggs into water. Boil 5-6 minutes and then rinse under cold water. Do NOT use a rolling boil or the eggs will break. If your eggs do break, keep their yolks anyway.
  • Let cool completely. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Pop yolks out into a small bowl.
  • To yolks, add mayo and dill. Mix very well, then salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put yolk mixture into a plastic sandwich bag. Pipe mixture into each egg half.
  • Garnish with fresh dill or chives.
