Quail Egg Salad on Toast Recipe

Yield 4

Author Aubrey

Ingredients

• 12 quail eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon pickle relish or chopped pickles
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of bread (your choice, such as whole grain, sourdough, or rye)
• Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Boil the Quail Eggs

1. Place the quail eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water.
2. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for 4-5 minutes.
4. Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. This will stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
5. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes.

Peel the Quail Eggs:

1. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell.
2. Carefully peel the shell away, starting from the larger end where there is usually an air pocket.
3. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any remaining bits of shell.
4. Once peeled, chop the quail eggs into small pieces.

Prepare the Egg Salad:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped quail eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

Toast the Bread:

1. Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or even a skillet.
2. Spread a generous amount of the quail egg salad over each slice of toasted bread.
3. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, such as parsley or chives.
