Curried Quail Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Cover eggs with 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 2 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice-water bath; let cool completely.
• Peel eggs and trim pointy ends flat, so they stand upright. Trim 1/4 of each egg from other end; gently scoop yolks into a bowl.
• Using a fork, mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Using a pastry bag fitted with a small open-star tip (such as Ateco #18), pipe yolk mixture into egg whites in a swirling motion. Serve, topped with dill sprigs.

Steps:

• In a microwave save container, combine bouillon, curry powder and water.
• To avoid "explosion" of the boiled eggs, pluck them with a pick and put in the bowl of curry seasonings. Cover and microwave for 1 minute.
• Let cool in seasonings, turning over for even coloring.

Steps:

• Put the cold eggs (straight from the refrigerator) in the bottom of a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and let stand for 12 minutes.
• Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit, and then peel while they are still warm (they are much easier to peel this way). After you peel them, you can then store them, covered, in the refrigerator.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, curry powder, mustard powder, cayenne and paprika. Season with salt.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Spoon out the cooked yolks and transfer to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mash together with the tongs of a fork until smooth. Alternatively, you can press the yolks through a fine sieve over the bowl and stir together.
• Spoon the filling into the egg whites, or you can put the filling into a re-sealable bag, cut one end off and pipe it in. Garnish with paprika and chives before serving.
