How to Cook Quails Eggs: Hard and Soft Boiled

Quails eggs are easier to cook than we think, and because they are so small, the cook very fast.  They make the perfect sized eggs to go with salads and side dishes and taste creamy and light.

Quails Eggs – Soft and Hard Boiled

Cook Time 3 mins

Ingredients
  

  • Quails Eggs
  • Boiling Water

Instructions
 

  • For Hard Boiled Quails Eggs: Place Quails Eggs in boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold tap and peel off shells to serve.
  • For Soft Boiled Quails Eggs: Place Quails Eggs in boiling water for 2.5 - 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold tap, and peel off shells to serve.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan, though 12 quail eggs will happily sit on a medium sized pan with enough water to cover all the eggs.    Make sure your eggs go into boiling water and a slotted spoon is best for putting them in and taking them out with the least damage to the eggs.
Cool the eggs down under water to be able to peel the shells off.  The shells can be tricky to remove, so take your time with them.

      It’s been a while since I made them. If I remember, I let them cool significantly before peeling, then used an egg shell peeler. I don’t always use it though. Letting them cool, and contract a little inside the shell helps here, but as I tend to use them in salads, I don’t mind them on the cooler side.

      Let the eggs cool. Then put them in a plastic container with a lid. Give them a good shake (up and down) about 15-20 times. The shells will crackle all over the eggs. Then, just remove the eggs from the container and peel away the crackled shells. Really easy!

    Have you tried to fry them – we’ve seen them used in tapas in Spain and look amazing – is there a frying gizmo that keeps them intact? Gracias, Gary

    I had a real thing for quails eggs once. I don’t think I was even pregnant at the time. Anyway, I ate too many and put myself right off them, but looking at this post, I’m tempted to try again.

      I struggled to eat the first one, but when I managed to get used to the idea that they are really no different from eating a chicken egg, I got over it. They’re a lovely size for kids salads too.

A wee note, and I am so sorry I have to add this to my website.

I sincerely thank the huge amount of readers that show up weekly to read my wee blog, and this note doesn’t apply to the majority of you.

I’m not perfect, and this website is free to browse, read, and use my recipes.  It’s a personal website, not a big business.  Sometimes I make mistakes.  If you find one, I’d like you to let me know so I can fix it, but please don’t call me names.

Also, please don’t use my photographs anywhere else, as I have taken most of them myself.  With some photographs, I’ve paid to be able to use them or been given the right to use them by their owners.

If you wish to use my photographs, please ask.
