Here’s a very special cornbread that is not only soft, sweet and delicious but has a surprise inside. Filled with these little Quail eggs that add not only beauty but a wonderful flavor to the cornbread. I found this idea in a Chinese book store, my daughter is a big fan of Anime. So, when we go to Richmond ( a large Chinese community ) she always want to go into the book stores to look for english Anime. I on the other hand head over to the cookbook section. Most of the cookbooks are in Chinese and I can’t read them, but, I like to look at the pictures for ideas. On this particular day I came across a picture with what looked like cornbread filled with Quail eggs.

I knew I had to make this for the blog. Sadly, I was unable to read this recipe, so, I’m using my favorite cornbread recipe. This cornbread has a light and fluffy texture that is moist and tender to the touch. With a slight sweetness from the maple syrup and a smoky flavor from the bacon and bacon fat. It’s not only simple and quick to make but, is truly delicious.

When you cut into this cornbread you will find it’s dotted with Quail eggs throughout. Quail eggs taste the same as regular eggs and are much smaller in size. It takes 3 Quail eggs to make 1 chicken egg. One thing that I love is the color of these eggs, they look so beautiful and when you boil them and then peel, the inside of the egg shells have this wonderful baby blue color on the inside wall of the shell. So pretty!

You can usually find Quail eggs in specialty shops and Asian markets, they come in packages of 24 of the most adorable eggs you have ever seen. If you are unable to find these eggs you can still make this cornbread, it’s great with or without the Quail eggs. This cornbread recipe is my all time favorite. Enjoy!
