Ingredients
  

  • 12 quail eggs
  • 4 bagels gluten-free, if needed
  • 4 slices of smoked salmon
  • Cream cheese optional
  • Rocket salad
  • Balsamic glaze

Method
 

  1. Put the quail eggs in a pan of cold water - make sure the water covers them well. Bring to the boil and turn off the heat immediately. Put a lid on, then rest for 1-3 minutes, depending how runny/soft you'd like the yolk. Drain, then rinse with cold water. Rest them in cold water for ten minutes then remove the shells.
  2. Cut the bagels in half and lightly toast or grill them.
  3. Spread some cream cheese or dairy-free on the base of the bagels, then add some rocket leaves and the smoked salmon.
  4. Squeeze some lemon juice on top and season with pepper.
  5. Cut the quail eggs in half and put them on top of the salmon.
  6. Drizzle with some balsamic glaze, then serve.
