Cutest eggs ever

The street food festival was amazing, and as it wound down, and the sky got darker, we were standing in line for some Thai spareribs and the booth next door started handing out little boxes of quail eggs. Quail eggs!

They are so teeny tiny and perfect. I'm in love.

I have one dozen. What to do with them? Can such a tiny thing be poached (because I now poach eggs multiple times a week)? Scrambling them seems criminal. I'm torn - very excited to use them and already a little sad knowing that once I do they'll be gone and I won't be able to stare at them anymore. I mean, I can get more, obviously. But I'd hate to get jaded. Quail eggs that are gifted, out of the blue, seem more magical than ones that I track down online and then purchase at the farmer's market.
