Want an easy and super delicious meal? Scotch eggs!

We like to make pan-fried scotch eggs out of any quail eggs that don't come out perfectly when we boil and peel them and cannot be put in the pickling jar. You know, the ones that crack or tear, and you know there will be a few every time 😉

Can also be made with pickled eggs whenever the craving hits 😁

Simply wrap them in sausage meat or any ground meat like a big meat ball, then bake or fry or cook in a skillet until browned on all sides. Totally yum!

🤣🤣🤣 Last night I asked my honey what he wanted for dinner after processing almost 600 eggs, and mused that he probably wanted anything EXCEPT eggs... But then I said we could make scotch eggs and his eyes lit up! Yeah, they're that good ❣️❣️❣️

About 45 dozen pickled eggs 😱. That's boiling and successfully peeling 540 little quail eggs 🤣

Our recipe is extremely simple. Each pint jar holds about 20 quail eggs. Each quart jar holds about 40.

For each pint jar, put in whatever flavor elements you want, and then the boiled and peeled quail eggs, and then about a cup of the pickling juice. Make sure the eggs are covered with the juice. The eggs will float so you kind of have to hold them down to make sure there is enough liquid to cover them.

For each cup of Pickling Juice: 3/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt. Heat and stir until the salt is dissolved.

Use your imagination for the flavoring elements. We like fresh garlic, onion, rosemary, peppercorns, peppers, and many other things.

Pickled quail eggs made at home cannot be safely canned and stored on the shelf. They must be stored in the fridge. Making shelf-stabled pickled eggs requires commercial canning equipment that one just would not have in their home.

First recipe: Chocolate Quail Egg Pudding!

No food photo because it's yummy, and I ate it before realizing Hey, I should get a picture of this!

Our version is keto and diabetic friendly. Best thing is this can be a yummy protein rich meal replacement ❣️

You can substitute real powdered sugar if you prefer. But we just buy Anthony's granulated erythritol, and grind it about 20 seconds in a small food processor to make a nice sugar-free powered sugar.

You can use any liquid for the milk or water. I've done this with almond milk. I think once I even used some leftover coffee 🤣

Chocolate Egg Pudding
---------------------------------------
Ingredients:
• 1 cup quail eggs (about 20)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened milk or water
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar substitute
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash salt

Heat a small skillet with just a little light oil. Scramble eggs until just fully cooked.

Put all ingredients into a wide mouth pint mason jar. Blend with an immersion blender till smooth and thick.
Enjoy!

Makes about 3-4 servings.

I am the eggman. I am the eggman. I am the walrus. cuckoo cachoo!

Just finished the annual refresh of our breeding flocks. We have way too many hens, and have not been hatching eggs. Each of the egg cartons holds 2 dozen quail eggs, and the plastic bins hold 3-4 dozen. Which means it's time for our winter egg extravaganza!

BTW: mini fridges may be tempting as they can hold lots of eggs and free up space in your main fridge. But they generally are just overpriced drink coolers and do not hold consistent food-safe temperatures.

Time to break out all the egg recipes. This is the time of year when we process eggs for later. Then we'll still have enough to eat in the Spring when we always run short due to higher demand for hatching eggs and chicks.

Today is Hatch Day! Our first batch of Spring chicks will be making their debut very soon 😁

And last night we loaded up the next batch.

Here are some examples of why we carefully candle every egg before it is considered for incubation. Double yolks can occur on even normal size eggs, though it is more common in larger eggs. And micro fractures, thin uneven egg shells, and even little dents may not be found unless you candle the egg. All of these went into our breakfast instead 😋
