I'm minding 5 hens & 3 quail for a client this week & told to take the eggs. I've got 5  quail eggs so far but what do I do with them I've never eaten them but want to try them. Any suggetions?

Hard boil them - one minute is enough.  They're a devil to peel, but cool them then pour over mayo - absolutely delish!

or pickle them ... but you'd still need to boil & peel them I suppose

they are just eggs, you can do them however you "like you eggs in the morning" ... just abit smaller!

you can pickle them in their shells I think

Thanks all. I still haven't got round to trying them!But think I'll try them boiled with mayo as you suggested Doganjo.
They're so tiny I thought they would be hard boiled if they just looked at a pan of water!

We are looking for some Quail and all because my Grandson wants 2 fried eggs like Grandad at breakfast lol 2 hens eggs are far to much for him

That's why I said a minute - that's hardboiled.  then you cool them, peel, and cover with mayo, sprinkle with spices to taste - I like nutmeg or even cinnamon

Leave them for a couple of days before you boil them, they'll be easier to peel.

Today we wanted to try something different with our quail eggs, so I looked here for ideas and tips. 

I always put eggs for hard or soft boiling into boiling water, and recipes always assume you put then into cold water, bring to the boil and start timing when they come to the boil.  Wish I'd remembered that earlier... 

So, we accidentally had barely-soft-boiled eggs (I'd meant them to be just hard.)  I hadn't any mayonnaise, so I made a sour-creamed mushroom sauce to go with - oh, yum!
