Instructions

  1. Place quail eggs in a bowl of clean cold water for a quick 2 minute soak to remove unwanted dust and debris.
  2. Gently lower the raw, clean quail eggs into a pot of boiling water (feel free to add about a tbsp of vinegar to facilitate easy peeling). Set your timer once the Eggs are in the boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes for a soft boiled egg and between 3-4 minutes for a harder yolk.
  3. Once boiled, use a slotted spoon from the pot of boiling water and transfer them into a bowl of cold water. Add ice if desired. Leave them in the cold water for at least 5 minutes or so. Refrigerate quail eggs if not using them right away.
