In taste, these eggs are similar to chicken eggs and these eggs can also be used as usual eggs, but the number of eggs should be doubled as per the recipe. Bantam eggs are not manufactured on a large-scale; therefore, they can be found only from private manufacturers.

These tiny eggs are about three times less in size than usual chicken eggs and weigh about 20gm. Quail eggs are the smallest eggs which are sold in commercial shops. The shell of a quail egg is pale with dark flecks and the shell decorates the dish if an egg is served in half a shell. Clean baked eggs are perfectly suitable for snacks and canapé, and as a decoration of dishes. If the eggs are not over boiled, they remain soft, almost like cream with a pleasant taste. It is possible to prepare dishes with them like in the case of chicken eggs; it is possible to make scrambled eggs. |
