Crisp Battered Quail Eggs

Crisp Battered Quail Eggs

Hard-boiled quail eggs are coated in batter and fried for this small snack. The eggs are cooked before frying; the oil cooks the coating and warms the center. This recipe uses orange coloring, but the color is optional and does not indicate doneness. The batter needs to cling to a dry egg rather than slide straight off it.
