Quail egg and courgette fritters: starters

Quail eggs are finicky if not a pain to work with but very delicious indeed. The painstaking effort you put in just to peel those tiny gems is well worth it. They are gorgeously delicious; team them up with homemade hollandaise sauce and asparagus spears (or in this case, courgette fritters) and you've got yourself a winning starters. Today I did not bother with the hollandaise sauce because the yolk was perfect and I used that as both sauce for salad and dip for the fritters.

My absolute delight is when the egg has been left with a runny yolk that oozes out when you cut the egg open 😍.
