On Monday morning atop my kitchen counter I had quail eggs! Did you even ever think about eating a quail egg omelet? My husband hadn't, but he said he found the one I made him on Monday quite tasty!
A friend of mine has started a little farm, complete with chickens and quail. While the chickens won't be laying eggs for a couple of months now, the quail are laying! I'm looking forward to fresh chicken eggs soon, but while I'm waiting I decided to try some of the quail eggs! They are really tiny and cute, but nutritionally, they pack a punch! In my research I found that their nutritional value is three to four times that of a chicken egg, and they contain about 2% more protein per egg! They also aren't known to cause allergies like chicken eggs! I have been truly amazed at the health benefits these tiny little packages hold! I pretty sure that they'll bee seen on my kitchen counter again!!!

| I cooked up six. |

| Okay, so it's probably more like scrambled eggs that an omelet, but I like them to look nice! |
