A girlfriend of mine came over yesterday for dinner and saw these on my counter, she asked me if they were lizard eggs. 
I laughed and told her that they were quail eggs.
I found these little eggs while I was at the Asian market picking up some ingredients for my Spicy Crispy Beef. As an addicted and avid watcher of Iron Chef America, I have seen these eggs used many times.
I guess at first glance they can look like lizard eggs, but they are so tiny and cute. I do not know yet what I will do with them, I am sure it won’t taste much different from a regular egg. If you have ever had a quail egg, let me know how they are. I am thinking of a small salad and topping it off with an egg, we will see. Regardless I love finding ingredients that I have never used before.
Here are a few interesting links on quail eggs:
I know I have been MIA for a few days. It has been crazy busy here and I finally have a chance to blog.
One of my Hubby’s favorite food for breakfast is french toast, so I decided to kind of do some french toast but just a little different. Same ingredients just made differently. I made what some call eggs in a basket, egg in a hole or bird’s nest, what do you call them? It was super yummy.
Egg in a Basket
Eggs In A Basket
- 4 pieces of whole grain bread
- 4 eggs
- butter
- sugar
- cinnamon
Heat your griddle skillet at 300 degrees. Cut a 1 to 1 1/2 inch hole into the center of your bread. Butter your bread and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon on both sides.
Melt a TBS of butter on the griddle. Place bread on the skillet and crack egg into the hole. Let it cook for a few minutes and flip. I cooked it till the yoke was still soft but not runny.
I served it with some cooked prosciutto and drizzled with maple syrup.
My co-worker had just come back from North Carolina with some real maple syrup it was perfect over the french toast. This is a great and easy breakfast.
