directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over moderately high heat. Place the quail eggs in a wire basket or strainer and lower them into the boiling water. Cook the eggs for 5 minutes, then cool them under cool running water. Pat the eggs dry. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Put tomatoes in a small roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in oven until they have softened, about 30 minutes

Step 4

Cut the tops of the brioche off and set aside for another use. Slice each brioche roll into two ½ inch rounds and put them on a baking sheet. Toast until slightly crispy and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Place 4 appetizer plates on a work surface. Lay a slice of brioche toast in the centre of each plate. Spread with a little of the mayonnaise. Put some of the greens onto the brioche and spoon on some of the tomatoes. Lay 2 slices of smoked duck on top of the tomatoes and then place a few quail egg halves on top. Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
