I never thought it would be possible, but sometimes I do get bored of ‘plain’ eggs and bacon for breakfast. A great way to break out of egg monotony is to vary your egg source – duck, goose, bantam, and even ostrich eggs are all delicious, but my personal favourite is Quail’s Eggs. They have long been paired with asparagus, and this classic combination gets a twist with some bacon and finely chopped chives and spring onion. A low carb, nutrient-dense, and delicious start to the day!
Due to their size, it’s a tough job getting Quail’s Eggs just right. Boil them for just two minutes – no longer, before dousing in cold water so they don’t cook any further.
This recipe is perfect for those looking to add a touch of gourmet to their breakfast while maintaining a healthy, Paleo-friendly diet. The combination of flavours and textures makes this dish a standout option for any morning meal.
Recipe: Quail’s Eggs, Bacon and Crispy Asparagus
Equipment
- Frying pan
- Pan for boiling eggs
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Butter Organic, or ghee, or coconut oil
- 4 Asparagus Spears
- 4 Quails eggs Organic
- 2 Bacon Rashers, Organic
- 1 tsp Chives Fresh, finely chopped
- 2 Spring onions Finely chopped
Instructions
- First, heat your chosen fat in a frying pan to a medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook for around 10 minutes until really golden and crispy, turning often.
- Next, add the bacon to the pan and continue to fry for another 3 or 4 minutes with the asparagus, turning once.
- Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Dunk the quail’s eggs in, and set the timer for two minutes exactly. As soon as the time is up, drain them and pour in cold water.
- Serve the bacon on a plate alongside the asparagus. Peel the quail’s eggs and chop them in half, placing them on top of the asparagus so the tips soak up the yolks. Garnish with the chives and spring onions.
