2. Take one of the long edges and roll up the pastry to form a swirl. With a sharp knife, slice into 34 thin rounds, then place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Chill until ready to cook.
3. Cook the quail’s eggs in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking further. Once cold, peel and set aside.
