Fill a small bowl with flour, some salt and pepper. Fill the second bowl with egg and milk, stir well. Fill the last bowl with panko (japanese breadcrumbs). Divide the minced meat into 12 portions.

Flatten a portion in the palm of your had, add a quail egg in the middle and fold it shut. Make sure the egg is fully encased. Repeat this step for the remaining eggs.

Roll each ball through the flour, then egg and lastly the panko. Make sure each scotch quail egg ball is fully covered, then fry them in the hot oil until golden-brown.
