Quail Eggs With Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• Place quail eggs in a medium saucepan, and cover with several inches cold water. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off heat, and let sit 2 minutes, stirring several times to ensure even cooking. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water, and let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Remove eggs, 1 at a time, and pat dry with paper towels. Peel eggs, and halve lengthwise. Remove yolks, and reserve whites.
• Mash yolks with mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon juice.
• Fill each egg-white half with 1/4 teaspoon caviar. Place a dab of egg-yolk mixture on each crostini, and place an egg half on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 30 seconds then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool. Carefully peel the eggs and halve each lengthwise. Carefully remove and reserve the yolks.
• Place the yolks in a food processor with the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, Dijon, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, and then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
• Pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs. Top each egg with a scant teaspoon of the tobiko, a small dollop of creme fraiche and a piece of chive.

Steps:

• Remove the yolks from hard boiled eggs and mash with sour cream. Fold in chives and capers and spoon back into egg halves. Garnish with caviar and watercress and serve.

Steps:

• For the fried shallots: Fill a deep, heavy skillet with 1 inch of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the shallots thinly, and separate into rings. Dust with rice flour, and then drop into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel to drain. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the bearnaise sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine half of the tarragon with the shallots, vinegar and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Blend the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the bearnaise reduction together in a blender. With the blender running, add one-third of the melted butter in a slow, steady stream. Once the butter emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Add the remaining half of the tarragon, season with salt and pepper, and give the sauce one more buzz. Set aside in a warm spot to hold.
• For the deviled eggs: To make perfect hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, immediately turn off the heat and let sit for exactly 14 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water, let cool, and then peel.
• Slice the eggs in half, and then slice a sliver off the bottom so they will stand erect on the plate. Remove the yolks to a food processor.
• Season a bowl of cold water very generously with salt, and stir until dissolved. Rinse the egg whites in the salt water to remove any remaining yolk--this way, you season the eggs at the same time.
• To the yolks in the food processor, add 1/4 cup of the bearnaise sauce and the creme fraiche, mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice. Process until completely smooth--you may have to add a few drops of water to loosen. Season with salt.
• Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large circle tip, and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Top with caviar, fried shallots and tarragon tips.

Steps:

• Place quail eggs in a small saucepan filled with water, and bring water to a boil. Boil 30 seconds, and turn off heat. Cover. For slightly soft eggs, let eggs stand in hot water 2 1/2 minutes; for firmer eggs, let eggs stand in hot water 2 minutes more.
• Prepare a bowl of cold water. Remove eggs from hot water; submerge in cold water. Let eggs stand 5 minutes. Remove from water, and remove shells.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place bread on a baking sheet; toast until golden brown.
• Slice eggs lengthwise; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Spread 1 teaspoon caviar on each piece of toast, top with half an egg, and garnish with 1/4 teaspoon caviar. Serve.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Add the vinegar. Gently break the quail eggs, one by one, into the simmering water and poach for 1 minute. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Place one cooled, poached quail egg on each crouton. Top with a little hollandaise sauce and caviar.
• Beat egg yolk. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Beat the egg until thickened, pale yellow and doubled in volume. Remove the bowl from the heat. While beating, slowly add the butter in a slow, but steady stream. When the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and Tabasco sauce. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine the eggs with the ginger, chives, mushrooms, sesame oil, soy sauce, nori shreds, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place 1 scallop in the bottom of 8 small teacups and divide the egg mixture among the teacups. Tap the teacups lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Fill a wok halfway with water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Place the teacups in a bamboo steamer, cover the teacups with plastic wrap and put the steamer into the wok, making sure the base does not touch the water. Steam for 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the steamer and let rest for 3 minutes before removing the plastic wrap. Check that the egg is cooked by putting a toothpick through the center - it should come out clean. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of salmon roe onto each steamed egg, sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large saute or omelet pan. Add the eggs and cook them over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the desired doneness. Off the heat, add 1 more tablespoon of butter and stir until it's melted. Check for seasonings. Serve hot on a slice of toasted brioche with 1 teaspoon of caviar per person.

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes. 2. Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Set aside. 3. Prepare an ice water bath. 4. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring about 4 inches of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the quail eggs to the boiling water and cook for 1-1/2 minutes. Remove to the ice bath to chill. 5. Once cooled, carefully peel all of the eggs and cut each in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks from the egg halves and transfer them to a food processor fitted with a steel blade, reserving the whites of the quail eggs and discarding the whites of the chicken eggs (or saving them for another use). 6. Add the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, mustard, and lemon zest, and process the mixture to a fine paste. Season carefully to taste with salt, bearing in mind that the quail eggs will be topped with caviar. 7. Transfer the deviled yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a small tip and pipe the filling into the quail egg white halves. 8. Transfer to your serving platter then top each with a small amount of caviar. Add a few pieces of finely chopped chives for color, if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine eggs with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch and bring water just to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand, covered, 7 minutes if using quail eggs or 17 minutes if using large eggs. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over eggs, cracking shells against side of pan. Peel eggs.
• Cut a paper-thin slice off both ends of eggs to enable them to stand upright. If using quail eggs, cut one third off narrow end of each, discarding tops; if using large eggs, halve crosswise. Carefully remove yolks from whites and in a bowl mash yolks with a fork. If using quail eggs, stir in smaller measures of mayonnaise, shallot, and tarragon with salt and pepper to taste. If using large eggs, stir in larger measures of same ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon yolk mixture into whites and smooth tops. Chill stuffed eggs, covered with plastic wrap, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Just before serving top eggs with caviar.
