Delicate & Delicious

... & I'm sold...

When someone says, "let's cook quail eggs", you say "yes!"

These tiny little eggs are so delicate  & delicious.  My first stab at cooking quail eggs: I must say, I'm pretty proud of the outcome!

Less than a handful of ingredients and you are on your way to a yummy surprise no matter the palette you are serving. 

My top pick: Quail Egg Stuffed Mushrooms

* * *

... I use liquid smoke in almost everything I cook...

You should too!

Ingredients:

mushrooms caps

quail eggs

shredded cheese (I used Italian 4 cheese blend, already shredded)

salt, pepper

sprinkles of parsley

 olive oil

*liquid smoke

& this is how it is done:

Rinse mushrooms & remove stems, keeping mushroom caps

Some say "put the caps on the baking tray previously slightly greased with olive oil" I say, in a bowl, mix mushroom caps, olive oil, liquid smoke, S&P

Add cheese and parsley in cap, crack a quail egg into each, sprinkle with S&P

Place  into the preheated 180C oven and bake until cheese and eggs look cooked (I'd say, 20ish minutes)

SIDE NOTE: I also found that these little boogers are tough to crack.  After the 2nd or 3rd (failed) attempt, I  had to improvise. 

TIP: crack quail egg with the tip of a knife and let ooze out

After it is all said and done, go relax & enjoy!  Everyone needs to take a hot minute each day to enjoy the little things & a delicious snack!  Find your favorite spot to enjoy these simple delights! 

... ahh it is nice to be back...
