As you know, I like to take on food challenges. When I saw a Libbie Summers recipe for Scotch quail eggs, it was on.
One problem, though: Where does one find quail eggs in Savannah? I tried numerous grocery stores and produce places to no avail.
Then I Googled “buy quail eggs in Savannah” and found an address in a strange part of town. I let a number of people know where I was going, just in case I didn’t come back.
"G.Q.F." stands for "Georgia Quail Farm.
I was shocked to discover that Georgia Quail Farm Manufacturing Co. is an international supplier for game bird and poultry equipment. Who knew?
Anyway, $15 later, I headed out with these:
And thus began my Scotch quail eggs adventure.
Almost too pretty to eat
Place eggs in saucepan with salt and vinegar and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for three minutes.
After the eggs soak in ice water for 10 minutes, then you have to peel them. This sucks. (The inner shell is a pretty blue, though.)
After the eggs dry on a paper towel, they are ready for the coating process.
First, a light coating of flour
Then wrap a sausage disk around the egg.
Dip the egg in a mixture of beaten chicken eggs and water, then roll in bread crumbs. Put finished eggs in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Break out the Fry Daddy. Let the eggs take a bath until golden brown.
Mmmm ... golden goodness!

Dip in tarragon mustard sauce and enjoy!
Dominic dissected the Scotch egg and swiped the egg.
Verdict: Totally worth the effort!
