Low
  • Debone the quails and place them skin side up to flatten them a bit.
  • In an oven-safe skillet, roast the quail with the skin side up at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
  • While the quail is in the oven, mix the oil, mustard, mustard seeds, rosemary, bay leaf, garlic, salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
  • Remove the quail from the oven and spread the mustard mixture over the skin, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • Turn on the oven broiler and place the quail about 6-7 centimeters from the top of the oven, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until browned. (Care must be taken as the mustard seeds can burn.)
  • Remove the quails and place them on a platter covered with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add wine to the skillet and wait for it to boil and reduce by half. Add the broth and boil for 1 minute. Strain the sauce and pour it over the quail to serve.
