Ingredients

  • 30 quail eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Place the quail eggs in a small saucepan.
  2. Cover them with cold water and add the vinegar and stir.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over low heat.
  4. When the water begins boiling, set a timer for 4 minutes.
  5. After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water another 2 minutes. (Set a timer!)
  6. In the meantime, add about 10 ice cubes to a bowl and cover them with cool water to prepare the ice water bath. Set it aside.
  7. After 2 minutes, remove the eggs from the hot water and shock them the ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
  8. Once cooled, peel gently.

Bom Apetite!!

Notes

  • How to peel: Roll the eggs on the countertop to crack the skin. Pinch the bottom of the cracked shell (there will be an air pocket here) under cold running water and gently remove the membrane and shell together.
  • How to store: Keep hard boiled quail eggs in the refrigerator for up to a week.
