Bacon Wrapped Quail Breast Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Jalapeños

   Slice the fresh jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Set aside.

2. 2

   Stuff the Quail Breasts

   Season the quail breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stuff each quail breast with a jalapeño half.

3. 3

   Wrap with Bacon

   Wrap each stuffed quail breast with two slices of smoked bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

4. 4

   Sear the Quail

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon-wrapped quail breasts and sear on all sides until the bacon is crispy and the quail is cooked through (about 12-15 minutes).

5. 5

   Glaze with Jam

   In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the apricot-serrano jam over the quail breasts, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove toothpicks, if used, and serve the bacon-wrapped quail breasts warm with any remaining jam on the side.
