Broiled Quail

Preheat broiler

Begin by washing the birds thoroughly and letting them dry on a broiler pan.

Mix melted butter, dijon mustard, parsley and peppercon and warm the mixture for 15 seconds in microwave. Brush all sides of the birds with mixture. Wrap 1 peice of uncooked bacon around each bird, and insert a toothpick into the ends to hold in place.

Put broiler pan with quail in the broiler for 5-10 minutes, checking them once or twice for browning. Remove pan, turn birds, brush with butter mixture again, and return to broiler for another 5-10 minutes.

Quail will be done when the breast is pierced with a fork and the juices run clear, and both sides of birds are golden brown. Allow birds to cool for 2 minutes or so, remove toothpick and bacon strip from birds and enjoy!
