I delivered some quail eggs to Mojo's yesterday, Mojo's is a super nice restaurant . I talked with the chef and he told me he was going to "antique" them. The process is simple, but produces a nice hardboiled or pickled quail egg for charcuterie, appetizers, or garnish that looks like it is truly antiqued.
Hardboil your eggs first and cool them.
Next steep some strong black tea.
Crack the shell on your hardboiled eggs by rolling them around on the counter.
Leave the cracked shell on the egg then soak in the tea for several hours.
Drain and peel the eggs.
He said that it makes them look like tiny dinosaur eggs. How interesting would that be for an Easter appetizer! I am definitely going to try it tomorrow for a lunch I am having.
