Sending Hugo House Quail Eggs As A Gift To Countryside Connection
It is always nice to send friends a gift and after the help and networking Helene at Countryside Connection has done for farmingfriends and knowing that quail eggs are a favourite with Helene and her husband Alan, I decided to send a surprise gift of my quail eggs to them.
Here is Helene’s response;
Thanks to your kindness, we had a fantastic lunch on Saturday! I cut out large circles from a loaf of granary bread, toasted the circles then topped each with spinach wilted in a very small amount of olive oil. Each circle was then topped with two fried quail eggs and covered lightly with a homemade cheese and mustard sauce. Alan and I loved it! Today the remaining eggs are being hard boiled to top spinach salads with crispy bacon and crumbled eggs.
I am pleased that Helene and her husband enjoyed the quail eggs as I know that they are partial to these tiny, yet flavoursome eggs and delighted that Helene told me how she used the quail eggs.
