About Quail egg yolk

Quail egg yolk is the yellow-orange central portion of a quail egg, separated from its white. It is soft and fluid when raw, then thickens or sets with heat; its flavour is richer than the mild white.

It is used in preparations calling for egg yolk, either alone or with the white, and may be separated fresh or sold as a processed liquid or dried ingredient. The small size of quail eggs makes separation less convenient than with larger eggs, and processing can alter the yolk's texture.
