What makes quail eggs special

Quail eggs are about a fifth the size of a hen's egg, with a larger yolk for their size. Gram for gram, they're rich in protein, iron, B12 and riboflavin.

Great for children

Their size makes them perfect for small hands and lunchboxes, and they look fun on the plate.

How to boil and peel

  1. 1Boil 3–4 minutes.
  2. 2Cool in iced water for 2 minutes.
  3. 3Roll gently on the counter to crack the shell all over, then peel from the wide end.

How many to eat

Three to five quail eggs equal roughly one hen's egg.
