Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 10 quail eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Half teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Carefully cut the pointed tips of the quail eggs with a small knife or egg scissors.
  2. Crack the eggs into a small bowl one by one to check for shell fragments.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and let it foam slightly.
  4. Carefully pour the quail eggs from the bowl into the hot pan.
  5. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and thyme on top.
  6. Cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the egg whites set, then serve hot.

Since quail egg shells are tough, using specialized egg scissors will make the process much easier.
