Can I use quail eggs in regular recipes?

Yes, just keep in mind it takes 3 quail eggs to equal one chicken egg. They work great in omelets, baking, and even egg salad.

How do I peel them without losing my mind?

Steaming makes them easier to peel, and chilling them in an ice bath helps too. I also shake them gently in a container to crack the shells before peeling.

Where can I find quail eggs if I don’t raise quail?

Check local farm stands, specialty grocers, or farmers markets. You can also search online for hatcheries or farms (like mine!) that sell fresh or pickled quail eggs seasonally.
