There are two ways.
Take the quail as it is and stuff it like you do with a chicken or a 
turkey. use a mixture of  the foie gras, truffle and cognac. Bake it in 
the oven for maybe 20 minutes on a crouton. Serve with a port or cognac 
demi-glace sauce. Or serve like "Caille en sarcofage" like in the movie 
"Babettes feast"

Or

De bone the quail and put the foie gras truffle cognac mixture in the 
middle. roll it into a sausage into plastic foil. Close very careful and 
poach it for 40  minutes. Let it cool down in the fridge for a day or so 
and there you go. Like a chicken gallantine.

Never heard of it.
I'm also educated as a food scientist and doubt that something can be 
cooked or cured by just taking it in and out of the fridge.
But one never know, cooking isn't really something we understand totally 
and I've seen stranger things happen.
