Pickled Quail Eggs with a Kick Quick and Yummy

January 30, 2017 by Tiffany Davis 14 Comments

Pickled Quail Eggs with a Kick - Quick and Yummy. A delicious and nutritious snack! Pickled quail eggs are a great way to use your quail’s bounty of eggs in a delicious way! I like my pickled quail eggs with a bit of a kick…aka spicy. I have to worn you, these won’t last long but they are yummy while they do. This recipe has made converts out of many who said they didn’t like pickled eggs and/or didn’t like quail eggs (neither of these statements makes sense to me…).

I also like that using a good, raw, apple cider vinegar in this recipe only makes it more nutritious for your gut; not to Pickled Quail Eggs with a Kick - Quick and Yummy. A delicious and nutritious snack! mention it adding awesome flavor. BUT the best part about pickled eggs is that they are a bite sized treat! Just pop one in your mouth and go. Just try not to eat the whole jar…

If you aren’t raising quail I suggest asking around on your local homesteading groups; often those raising quail have more eggs than they’re going to use and would love to sell a couple dozen for a reasonable price. Or check out your local farmer’s market for their offerings. BUT the best way to get eggs for your pickled quail egg recipe is to raise a dozen hens. Quail start laying around 8 – 10 weeks and produce an egg a day almost all year long. For more information on raising quail, click here.

Pickled Quail Eggs – Ingredients

  • 36 Quail Eggs, hard boiled and peeled
  • 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar (I like this brand)
  • 1 cup White Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons of Pickling Spice (I recommend looking for one without MSG)
  • 1 Teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes (if you want less heat you can reduce this amount)
  • 4 cloves of garlic that have been peeled and cut in half
  • 2 Pint Sized or 1 Quart Sized Mason Jar with a Wide Mouth Opening (easier access)
  • Customize your flavor by adding red onion, celery seeds, a bay leaf, a bit of fresh dill or even beets if that floats your boat. But you may not be able to get as many eggs in the jars.
