I first tried quail egg and bacon skewers, long before I lived in New York City at my favorite place, Yakitori Taisho. Over the summers I lived in NYC and the many visits ever since, I have always made it a point to go back. their many skewers are all divine and I encourage you to go and try them all. This recipe comes from some recent tinkering with the quail eggs. They are an excellent source of protein, B12, and iron. I hope you enjoy this as an appetizer or prepare ahead for snacks for your work days.
Quail Egg and Bacon Skewers
Ingredients
- 18 quail eggs
- 9 slices of bacon, halved
Prepare
- First, boil the quail eggs for 4 minutes.
- Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel carefully under running water.
- Wrap and Skewer: Cut your bacon slices in half. Wrap one half-slice snugly around each peeled quail egg, place a toothpick in the center of each one, and place them on a quarter sheet sized baking sheet.
- In an air fryer oven bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
- Finally, allow to cool for five minutes, serve, and enjoy!
