- White vinegar
- Water
- Salt
- Sugar
- Spices (get creative with your choice!)

Start by hard-boiling the quail eggs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
Transfer the boiled quail eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool quickly.
Once the eggs are cool, gently peel them. This can be a bit tricky due to their small size, but it's worth the effort.
In a separate saucepan, combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and your choice of spices. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Place the peeled quail eggs in a sterilized glass jar and pour the hot vinegar mixture over them. Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Allow the pickled quail eggs to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. They'll be ready to enjoy in just a day or two.
