Steps:
- 1. Heat a medium size pot of water to boiling. While that is heating, get a smaller pot out and fill with water and place under the tap so when you run more water in, the overflow will simply go into the sink.
- 2. Lower eggs into the water with a large spoon, 3-4 eggs at a time but do not over crowd the pot. At 4 minutes for a hard boiled egg, at 2 1/2 minutes for a soft boiled egg, remove the eggs with a large slotted spoon.
- 3. Place eggs the smaller pot and turn on the tap to keep water going into the smaller pot. Cool the eggs like this running the water on them for about 5 minutes or so.
- 4. Peel and enjoy. Yes, the inside of quail egg shells is a light blue.
- 5. Uses can be; enjoy as is as snack; cut in half and added to a green or pasta salad; mini deviled eggs; mini Scotch eggs; added to pasta, wontons, soups, etc. Photo shows a chicken egg for size comparison, and a hard boiled egg that is perfect.
