Quail eggs are rapidly gaining traction in cooking as a tiny and cute alternative to chicken eggs. They taste remarkably like chicken eggs but are small - typically just one-third the size of a standard chicken egg. They have cream-colored shells with brown splotches and deep-yellow yolks. For their size, they are packed with nutrients, but there are some precautions to take when dealing with them, especially if you are pregnant or have an egg allergy.
