Quail Eggs Taste Just Like Chicken Eggs! I feel like one of those people that think fish tastes just like chicken, but honestly, the difference in taste here is minimal!
Quail eggs are a tad bit richer in taste (because they have a bigger yolk to white ratio than chicken eggs), but generally the taste isn’t too dissimilar from chicken eggs.
Quail Eggs Are Barely Healthier than Chicken Eggs! Compared to chicken eggs, quail eggs are slightly healthier if you can muster up the energy to eat that many quail eggs (you’re probably burning a lot of extra calories peeling those things)!
I looked at the nutritional data for 100g of quail eggs and 100g of chicken eggs (both raw), and quail eggs had slightly more fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The difference isn’t huge, and you’d have to be eating a lot of quail eggs for it to begin to make a difference!
Quail Eggs Are Cooked In The Same Ways As Chicken Eggs! You don’t need to fear cooking quail eggs if you can cook chicken eggs.
You cook them in exactly the same ways. For example, you can scramble them, boil them, make omelets out of them, and if you’re really adventurous and have a lot of time to kill, you can even bake a cake using them instead of chicken eggs (usually 5-6 quail eggs replace 1 chicken egg)!
However, cooking times will be different than for chicken eggs (especially when you’re boiling them) because they’re so small. I discuss some tips and times for boiling quail eggs here.
