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.

PICKLED QUAIL EGGS - DILL PICKLING

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.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 quail eggs
4 teaspoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Dill sprigs, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cover eggs with 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 2 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice-water bath; let cool completely.
  • Peel eggs and trim pointy ends flat, so they stand upright. Trim 1/4 of each egg from other end; gently scoop yolks into a bowl.
  • Using a fork, mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Using a pastry bag fitted with a small open-star tip (such as Ateco #18), pipe yolk mixture into egg whites in a swirling motion. Serve, topped with dill sprigs.

Tips:

  • Use quail eggs for a unique and flavorful appetizer. Quail eggs are smaller and have a more delicate flavor than chicken eggs, making them perfect for delicate appetizers like the NIfS Dilled Quail Eggs.
  • Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. The key to successful NIfS Dilled Quail Eggs is perfectly hard-boiled eggs. To achieve this, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and chives add a burst of flavor to the NIfS Dilled Quail Eggs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Serve the eggs chilled. NIfS Dilled Quail Eggs are best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

NIfS Dilled Quail Eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, these eggs are sure to impress your guests.
