12 quail
1/4 c. peanut oil
1/4 c. butter
1 bay leaf
12 strips of fatty bacon
3 c. bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
Split the birds along the breastbone and flatten them. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet. Brown the birds in the oil. Add the bay leaf, cover the breasts with the bacon, season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the birds and dip them in the bread crumbs. Broil the birds for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done.
