Hard-boiled quail eggs are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to deviled eggs to ramen. They are also a good source of protein and other nutrients. Achieving the perfect hard-boiled quail egg, however, can be a bit tricky, as they are much smaller and more delicate than chicken eggs. With the right technique, though, you can easily cook hard-boiled quail eggs that are perfectly cooked, with a tender white and a firm, creamy yolk.

THE PERFECT BOILED EGGS
Steps:
- Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
- Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

Steps:
- Place eggs in a single layer in a heavy saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt (Salting the water helps minimize leaks if the eggs crack in the pan; the egg whites coagulate and seal off the crack more quickly). Turn the heat to high. As soon as the water comes to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan.
- For creamy yolks, remove the lid after 10 minutes and run cold water over eggs for 1 minute. Set aside to cool at room temperature. For firmer yolks, leave the eggs to cool in the cooking water, uncovered, for up to 2 hours. To test if an egg has been cooked, spin it on a counter. A hard boiled egg spins faster than a raw egg.
- To peel, gently tap a boiled egg against the counter, turning and tapping to make a crackle pattern. Start peeling at the broad end, where there is an air pocket. Running the egg under cold water is not necessary, unless they are too hot to handle.

Tips:
- Fresh eggs: Use the freshest quail eggs you can find. Older eggs may not peel as easily.
- Cold eggs: Start with cold eggs. This will help prevent the shells from cracking when you boil them.
- Gentle boil: Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for the desired amount of time. A rapid boil can cause the shells to crack.
- Ice bath: Immediately after boiling, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Peel under cold water: Peel the eggs under cold water to help loosen the shells.
Conclusion:
Hard-boiled quail eggs are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and they are also relatively low in calories. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect hard-boiled quail eggs at home.
