Ingredients

4 quail eggs

1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced

2 firm-ripe apples, cored and thinly sliced

4 cups baby arugula

Directions

Add the quail eggs to a medium sized pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for three minutes. Drain the eggs, and then toss in a ice water bath. Let them hang out for five minutes, and then peel, and thinly sliced. Combine the vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. While whisking everything together, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the pancetta to a non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Cook until just crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on some paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the apples, arugula, pancetta, quail eggs, and the dressing. Toss well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
