These sesame quail eggs are a sophisticated addition to any sharing platter or Japanese-inspired bento box. This vegetarian snack transforms delicate eggs into savoury morsels by simmering them in a rich balance of soy sauce and sugar. The process creates a beautiful mahogany glaze that coats each egg, providing a deep umami flavour and a slightly firm, satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with the creamy yolk.

Ideal as a healthy hors d'oeuvre or a high-protein afternoon treat, this recipe is remarkably simple to prepare in advance. The addition of toasted sesame oil at the final stage provides a nutty aroma that elevates the dish, making it a reliable favourite for entertaining. Serve these bite-sized delights at room temperature, perhaps garnished with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or finely chopped spring onions.
