Original pickled quail eggs are a Southern delicacy, offering a spicy and tangy flavor. These small bite-sized eggs are pickled in a brine with distilled white vinegar, water, tabasco peppers, red pepper flakes, and pickling salt, resulting in a creamy interior and a flavorful, zesty exterior. They are a high protein snack, often enjoyed on their own or as part of appetizers and charcuterie boards.
