Pickled quail eggs are a delicious side dish or snack. The have exactly the same taste as regular pickled eggs, but contain about 1/4 of the calories and cholesterol. If you want to cut back on the sour, vinegar taste, simply reduce the amount of vinegar by about a cup. If you want them a little sweeter, add a little more sugar. For a spicy pickled egg, you can add a chili pepper or two.
