Salmis of Quails

Draw and prepare two quails, cut them into halves lengthwise down the back, place them in a pan with a small quantity of butter, and cook them. Have in readiness two croutons of fried bread, and place the birds on them; reduce and thicken the liquor, strain it, pour it over the birds and serve with a little lemon juice squeezed over each.
