1 tablespoon of honey
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

Make the candied tomatoes: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, then mix them with balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 1-2 hours until they are slightly shriveled and sticky. Set aside.
Prepare the quail fillets: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In another bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dip quail fillets in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the quail fillets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
To assemble the sandwich: Toast 3 slices of bread. Place a lettuce leaf on one slice, followed by a slice of cheese, bacon, 2 quail fillets, and a handful of candied tomatoes. Top with another slice of bread and repeat the layers. Finish with the final slice of bread on top. Secure with toothpicks, then cut the sandwich into quarters. Serve immediately.
