This hors d'oeuvre is an eye-catching display of black caviar set on a miniature bed of onion-laced deviled egg. Each tiny quail egg sits snugly on a little round brioche toaste and requires only a pinch of caviar to complete the picture. They are easy to serve to dinner guests upon arrival or to a circulating cocktail crowd, and may serve to prompt some lively discussion, too. Popping a little egg into your mouth and washing it down with a glass of chilled sparkling wine makes a stunning equation on the palate.You can find quail eggs in specialty-food shops. Peeling and preparing them is a task geared toward cooks with a gentle touch. — Jeff MorganAdapted from "Domain Chandon Cookbook" by Jeff Morgan.

This recipe screams decadence, with a black truffle and foie gras stuffing. It doesn’t stop there, though. After being stuffed, each quail is wrapped in slices of bacon so that it’s flavorful and dynamic on the outside just as it is on the inside.

This soup recipe is the specialty at Restaurant R'evolution, located in New Orleans. Although it's definitely a weekend project for home cooks, it's well worth the trouble. Or, you could just fly down to my restaurant and order it off the menu.
