Not very hungry this morning but feeling playful, I thought I would have a little breakfast. I had some quail eggs and a little pork roast that I got from the traiteur, about the size of a ham hock.
The hardest part about this breakfast is cracking the quail eggs into the pan. The shells are turtle egg tough.
Quail Eggs on Toast
2 quail eggs
Butter
Grated cheese
Chives
1 small piece of ham
2 small pieces of toast
Cherry tomatoes, sliced
Crack the eggs into a pan with the butter, sprinkle with the cheese and chives. Add the ham slice to the pan to warm. After about 1 minute, remove the eggs and place on the toast. Put the ham slice along side and top with cherry tomato slices.
What a tasty little breakfast! I love quail eggs but unfortunately I have not been able to find a local source. You would think that quail eggs would be easy to find for it is not uncommon to see quail along our roads and in our backyard bird feeders.
Hi Tessa. I think in the States, you have to live in or near a place that has a demand for quail eggs, like cities with gourmet restaurants and a clientele with Michelin star tastes 🙂
There is a high demand for quail eggs in all of France, country and city, so there are lots of them in the supermarket and open market at a very reasonable price.
It looks awesome, doesn’t it? 🙂
Anyway, I was able to find quail eggs at an Asian market pretty close to where I live. Hope this helps!!
If I ever get to eat breakfast, that could be the one for me. Excellent.
Thank you Roger.
What a delightful little weekend brunch dish this would make. I must see if I can find some quail eggs!
I haven’t cooked with quail eggs so that’s interesting to me. I love your breakfasts.
Very cute and tasty breakfast. Must keep an eye out for quail eggs.
Quail eggs are so cute. I love that you use them so much, Rosemary. I see you as my un-frugal counterpart. You cook the sort of food I would if I wasn’t a stingy little git.
And that’s why I like you 🙂
This is the type of breakfast I wanna wake up to
Amazingly tasty looking. Never had quail eggs and that’s really interesting that they are rock hard. Thanks for the great breakkie Idea.
What a perfectly beautiful and beautifully perfect breakfast! We can get quails eggs here, but I agree with what you say about cracking the shells – I usually do it with a small serrated knife.
Thanks for the pointer on quail egg cracking. I needed that 🙂
yummy…..and fantastic…!!!!
Wonderful idea with the quail eggs… perfect size for a bit of toast!
Oh, quail eggs! It’s true: they are a bit hard to crack. I always had them at parties, hard boiled. Like mini-egg poppers!
But it seems like such a great thing to put on toast. And that is a very pretty ham!
