Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Boil the Quail Eggs: Place the quail eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath to cool; this makes peeling much easier.
Step 2
Peel and Halve the Eggs: Once cooled, carefully peel the shells off the quail eggs. Using a sharp knife, gently slice each egg in half lengthwise right through the center. Be delicate to avoid crushing the egg.
Step 3
Separate Yolks and Whites: Carefully scoop out the yolk from each halved egg half, placing it aside. Arrange the egg white halves neatly on a plate. Handle the yolks gently to keep them intact.
Step 4
Make the Yolk Filling: In a small bowl, combine the reserved quail egg yolks with 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard, and a pinch of salt. Mash and mix everything together with a fork or a small whisk until you have a smooth, creamy filling. Taste and adjust the mayonnaise or mustard quantity to your preference.
Step 5
Stuff and Garnish: Spoon or pipe the prepared yolk filling into each quail egg white half. Sprinkle generously with dried parsley and then top with your chosen chopped nuts for added texture and visual appeal.
Step 6
Plate Beautifully: Arrange the finished stuffed quail eggs on your serving platter. You can use a regular plate, or opt for a divided platter or one with an interesting shape to elevate the presentation. These make wonderful appetizers or finger foods!
