Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 450°.
- Rinse and pat dry the quail with paper towels, then lightly salt and pepper them.
- Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the chopped pear, and cook 7 minutes, stirring frequently. The pears should be softened, but not mushy. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, and cook 2 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Combine the cooled pears, thyme and goat cheese in a mixing bowl, and combine thoroughly. Stuff each quail with the goat cheese mixture, and tie their legs together with butcher's twine. Drape 2 halves of bacon over each quail, and hold them in place with toothpicks.
- Place the quail in a baking pan, and roast 25 minutes. Let the quail rest 5 minutes, then remove the toothpicks, and serve.
