12 Quail Eggs

Pot of lumpfish roe

1. First thing you need to do is check for cracked eggs.
2. Then soak your eggs in warm water for a few minutes and clean.
3. Place your eggs in a pot and cover eggs with 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar.
4. The vinegar makes the shells soft and easy to peel.
5. Once the liquid just starts to boil, start timing for 5 minutes.
6. Put the eggs into a few changes of cold water to cool them down when the boiling time is up.
7. Once cooled start peeling, rinse and allowed to dry on a paper towel. Store in Refrigerator until ready to use.
8. When ready to prepare cut in half lengthways and put a little caviar on top.

This method of boiling in half vinegar / half water slightly dissolves the shells and makes peeling them much easier than usual
