Best Truffled Quail Eggs Recipes

Provided by Kathy Casey

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 dozen hard-cooked eggs
Filling
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or crème fraîche
2 tablespoons truffle oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
Black lava salt
Fresh-cracked black pepper
20 tiny chive flowers (optional)

Steps:

Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.
With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.

Time 15m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half or milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons truffle butter
3 slices brioche bread, toasted
Minced fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

Place a medium (10-inch) saute pan over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt but not completely. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until the yolks and whites are just blended. Pour the mixture into the pan but don't mix it.
Allow the eggs to warm slowly over low heat without stirring them. This may take 3 to 5 minutes, so be patient! As soon as the eggs start to cook on the bottom, use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and fold the cooked eggs over the uncooked eggs. Once the eggs start to look a little custardy, stir them rapidly with the spatula until they are the texture of very soft custard. Remove the pan from the heat before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook in the warm pan. Immediately, stir the truffle butter into the eggs. This will stop the cooking.
Cut the slices of toast in half diagonally and place them on 3 dinner plates. Spoon the scrambled eggs over the toasts and garnish with minced chives. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.
