Jalapeno Quail Appetizers

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 2 large jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 12 boneless quail breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 12 bacon strips
  • 1 bottle (16 ounces) Italian salad dressing

Preparation

Step 1

Cut each jalapeno half into three long strips. Place a strip widthwise in the center of each quail breast; roll up from a short side. Wrap each with a bacon strip and secure with toothpicks.

Place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add salad dressing; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade. Grill appetizers, covered, over indirect medium heat for 16-20 minutes or until quail juices run clear and bacon is crisp, turning occasionally. Yield: 1 dozen.
