2. Prepare dressing: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, shallots, and diced celery. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and continue sautéing for an additional minute, until fragrant.

4. Simmer oyster liquid: Pour in the reserved oyster liquid and bring it to a simmer.

5. Cook oysters: Add the chopped oysters to the pan and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until they are cooked through.

6. Prepare stuffing: Transfer the cooked mixture into a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

7. Season quail: Season the quail generously with salt and pepper, ensuring to season both the outside and inside of the meat.

8. Stuff quail: Stuff each quail with about 2 ounces of the prepared stuffing mixture. Brush the quail with melted butter to add flavor and moisture.

9. Roast quail: Place the stuffed quail on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the quail are cooked through and the stuffing is golden brown.

10. Serve: Once roasted, remove the quail from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Since quail are small, plan to serve about 2 quail per person.
