Baked Scotch Quail Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix pork sausage, onion and salt. Shape mixture into 4 equal patties.
• Roll each hard-cooked egg in flour to coat; place on sausage patty and shape sausage around egg. Dip each into beaten egg; coat with bread crumbs to cover completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 35 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink near egg.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the foil.
• Cut and form pork sausage into 2-ounce patties. Place a hard-boiled egg in the center of each patty and press sausage around the egg.
• Beat raw egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Dip each patty into the egg; roll in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated patties on the wire rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6).
• Boil water using a kettle or a pan.
• Carefully put the quail's eggs into a small pan, adding the vinegar. Once the water boils, pour in the boiling water straight away and cook for 2 minutes. Don't do it longer, they will go rubbery!
• Move the pan to the sink and run cold water over the eggs for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Tap, roll and very gently peel the shells off them. Sometimes it helps if you do this under cold water. The first couple are hard to do but you'll get the hang of it.
• Place the pork in a bowl with spices and mix together. Divide the meat into 12 equal portions.
• Take a piece of the pork mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
• Place one of the quail eggs in the centre and stretch the pork mixture around to cover the egg completely, then roll between your hands to make an even-shaped ball. Repeat with the remaining eggs and pork mixture to make 12 balls.
• Place the flour, beaten egg and cornflakes/breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Dip each Scotch egg first in the flour to lightly coat, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the cornflakes/breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining eggs and place on a plate until ready to cook.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, making sure the pork mixture is cooked all the way through.
• Can be served hot or cold, goes well with mustard but I think they are tasty enough to skip it.

Steps:

• Hard boil 6 of the eggs; cool and peel.
• Divide the breakfast sausage into 6 equal parts. Slightly flatten each one, set an egg on it, then pat and shape the sausage to completely cover and seal in the egg.
• Beat the seventh egg with a little water. Dip each sausage/egg ball into the egg mixture.
• Roll the sausage/egg ball in the dried bread crumbs (Plain are ok but we prefer Italian seasoned crumbs).
• Place all of the sausage balls on a baking pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about a half-hour.

Steps:

• Toast fennel seeds on stove, keeping them moving constantly, until they turn a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then grind in spice grinder. Combine with salt, pepper, and parsley in small cup.
• If grinding your own pork, trim fat from pork and cut into 1" cubes.
• Combine the blend from Step 1 with the pork. If grinding your own pork, put in freezer (along with all grinder components except for the motor) for 1 hour before using in meat grinder. If not, then refrigerate until ready to use.
• Start to heat up oil in deep fryer or pan deep enough to toally cover eggs, until it reaches 350°F.
• Place eggs in a pot of cold water that just covers the eggs. Heat until the water achieves a rolling boil. Remove pot from heat immediately, cover, and allow to sit for 3 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water and immerse in ice water. NOTE: this gives the eggs a soft center. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to hard boil.
• NOTE: quail eggs are incredibly hard to peel when soft boiled due to the thin shell. To peel egg shell, tap the bottom of one egg to crack it. Use a spoon to carefully peel the shell away from the egg while rotating the egg. Repeat for each egg. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• If grinding your own pork, remove pork from the freezer and grind.
• Divide the sausage into equal portions and flatten into a disc shape in the palm of your hand. Place the egg in the center of the disc and carefully wrap the sausage around them, ensuring that there are no openings.
• Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in another bowl. Roll each sausage wrapped egg in the egg wash to fully coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
• Place sausage wrapped eggs in the fryer so they aren't touching, for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to create mustard sauce.
