METHOD
Making the pastry
- Make the pastry 4 hours in advance so that it firms up and loses some of its elasticity;
- rub the butter and flour together until crumbly;
- in a bowl, combine the other ingredients; gradually blend into the first butter/flour mixture;
- roll into a ball; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Line 4 well-buttered brioche molds with pastry. Refrigerate until completely chilled or until ready to use.
- Bake in a 160°C. (325°F.) oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven; cool and unmold.
Confit onions
- Gently cook the onions in butter with a pinch of salt; drain in a strainer to remove the excess liquid and butter;
- Sauté the bacon bits in a few drops of oil until browned; drain;
- Pour the cream into the same skillet and reduce by half; add the onions and bacon; season with salt and pepper.
Preparing the quails and finishing
- Roast the quails in a 200°C. (400°F.) oven for 6 minutes; let rest for 10 minutes; cut in half; debone the breast but leave the bone in the leg.
- Poach the quail eggs by breaking them into boiling water to which a little vinegar has been added;
- Remove with a strainer once the white begins to coagulate; refresh in cold water and set aside. Just before serving, reheat briefly by immersing them in boiling water for a few seconds with a strainer.
- Cook the spinach and drain. Divide among the tartlets.
- Sauté the mushrooms and summer truffles; season with salt and pepper; place on the spinach.
- Add a spoonful of confit onions and cover with 4 quail eggs;
- Garnish with boned quail and serve immediately.
