Lemon-and-Dill Deviled Quail Eggs image

Deviling quail eggs is almost as easy as chicken eggs, and the result is infinitely cuter! Here, the filling is simply flavored with mayonnaise, Dijon, and a touch of fresh lemon juice.

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.
