How to Cook Quail's Eggs
- Fill a small saucepan two thirds full with water and bring to the boil. Add the quail's eggs using a spoon (do not overcrowd the pan). Boil for between 2½ and 4 minutes depending on your preference. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool down under cold running water or in a bowl filled with ice water. Peel very carefully.
The 'secret' is, of course, how long you cook them for. So, to give you a guide, the eggs in the image were boiled for different lengths of time. From left to right and top to bottom, they were cooked for 2 minutes, 2½ minutes, 3 minutes, and 4 minutes.
- (Top Left) After two minutes, the white was only partially set and the yolk was still runny.
- (Top right) Two and a half minutes left the egg soft boiled with a white that was set and a yolk that was thick and runny.
- (Bottom Left) Three minutes led to a medium boiled egg with the yolk being mostly set.
- (Bottom Right) Four minutes gives a hard boiled egg with a completely set yolk.

After cooking, be sure to cool the eggs down quickly under cold running water or in a bowl filled with ice water, otherwise they will continue to cook with their own retained heat.
