Notes:

* You want your quail eggs to be in between a soft and hard boil. To accomplish this, bring water in a small sauce pan to a boil. Gently add eggs to the boiling water and boil gently, for exactly 3 minutes. Immediately drain the hot water and replace with cold water to stop them from cooking, let sit 3 minutes.  Peel and eat.
