Notes
Frequently asked questions
- How else can you serve quail eggs? Anywhere you enjoy chicken eggs, basically! Fry them in a pan or place the scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast. Hard boil them as normal and toss them with mayonnaise for an egg salad sandwich or use them as a protein source in a Niçoise or cobb salad.
- Do quail eggs taste like chicken eggs? Yes, they taste a lot like regular chicken eggs. The main differences between the two are the size, shell color, and color of the yolk (quail eggs have a vibrant yellow yolk).
- How many quail eggs are equivalent to 1 chicken egg? About 3 to 5 quail eggs are equivalent to a single chicken egg.
- Where can I buy quail eggs? I find quail eggs at my local farmer’s market, food co-op, and Whole Foods. As their popularity grows, however, they should be easier to find in more well-stocked grocery stores.
