Quails' eggs

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Did anyone do the scotch quails eggs? I’m currently putting together an all in one breakfast and have quails eggs in my basket along with sausages to give them a jacket.
Thinking about it I’ve always bought them cooked and peeled. How best to cook quails eggs?

I haven’t, but I know I’ve read varying accounts of the murky origins of scotch eggs that claim the “original” ones were quails’ eggs.

Pray tell what are the “murky origins” ?

Nothing sinister, just that there’s no definite history on them.

Damn I was hoping for something cloak n dagger

And you got me wondering why quail's eggs should be so popular in Venezuala...

Me too! I've never understood why, but it is what it is.

I have done but I don't think I posted a recipe. Personally I like a soft boiled quail's egg in a Scotch egg and I time them at one minute in boiling water. However, when I look up soft boiled quail's eggs there are various timings stated - up to 2mins 25 seconds. For me, looking at my notes, that is hard boiled.

If you want soft boiled best thing to do would be to test cook one egg at one minute and plunge in cold water.
