Simple cooking cheats

Ok, hands up all those who use quail's eggs



















Thought so

Well we did once play a little jokette when on one of our 'lads' Herm fishing weeks.

We always have a big brekkie in the mornings, on this occasion my friend and I cooked a pre breakfast.

We cooked little cocktail sausages, quails eggs, some little pieces of bread and small pieces of pancetta.

I don't know if this counts as a tip but I used to keep all of my shop bought packeted herbs in the fridge.

Now I put them in a jar of water, they keep considerably longer that way.

Tut tut - its a great gourmet ingredient! Waitrose supermarket always have them on the shelves so someone must be cooking them. They taste richer and creamier than hen's eggs. Lovely for canapés or starters.

But they are tiny, wouldn't work with gammon and chips

I really must look for these in the supermarket. I do like doing things different.

Of course not. But they are great in starters or hors d'oeuvres.

Quail's eggs can also be made like Scotch eggs - this attempt was a bit experimental.

Walked past some in the little shop come gourmet market today and almost bought some, I'm pretty sure I've got a salad recipe or two using quails eggs.

Edit, just checked. Quail's eggs with asparagus and parmesan shavings and Quail's eggs with new potatoes and spinach.

Both sound very delicious.

This would be like eating a éclair, Boston Cream Donut or a cream puff!

But much bigger Remember Poke Cake? I saw a recipe for Boston Cream Poke cake. Pour vanilla pudding over yellow cake poked with the handle of a wooden spoon. Cool and top w chocolate frosting.

You could make it from scratch if you like. Haven't tried this one yet, but made poke cakes using Jell-O years ago. Tip the pan, and try to get the Jell-O in the holes.
