A Dozen Eggs=A Hearty Breakfast

[patricimo54]

A dozen quail eggs over a home made hash brown potato paddy with fried jalapenos.



Each egg with an equal amount of potato makes a good bite.



This ought to last until lunch. ;D

No not at all. I have done so in the past and it doesn't matter how fast you are the yolks are over cooked for my palate.

Just curious Pat, how do you season your fried taters there? Im always playing with taters in the skillet, experimenting with different seasonings and such. I usually start out with garlic powder and seasoned salt. Then it just gets crazy from there.. any special way you like to do it?

When I do hash browns I will often mince up a chipotle and add a little of the adobo sauce and work it thru the shredded spuds before making it into a paddy.

When I do country fries I like cooking them with onion and then dusting them with a little garlic and onion powder after I remove them from the skillet.

For sweet potato fries I'll dust them with a mix of ground coriander, a good Spanish smoked paprika (there is a difference), chipotle powder, ground cumin, and onion and garlic powder. Dust them good as soon as ya get them out of the skillet.

It has been so long since I've eaten a hens egg I don't know that I remember. I sell my hen eggs to help pay for feed. I have been eating duck eggs which are also good table fare in my opinion.

The quail eggs have an Excellent flavor. Very much as I remember chicken eggs.
I will have to try my hand at pickling some in the future. I have come up with a process for pickling and canning them that doesn't require refrigeration until the seal is broken.

Duck eggs are the best! I had to get rid of my last hen, though. She was was getting way too aggressive to my young games.

Hey Pat, how do you crack a quail egg and keep it intact like that? Seems like it'd be easy to bust the yolk.

I use a sharp pointed paring knife.
I use the blunt back side of the knife and fracture the shell in a ring just as it begins to taper to a point.
I then insert the point of the blade in deep enough to pierce the inner membrane.
Once that is done I use my thumb nail or the blade of the knife to open the top of the egg and pour the contents out. With a little practice it goes really fast.
