Ingredients
- 16 large shucked oysters
- 8 slices lean bacon
- 16 rectangles buttered toast (see recipe)
16 angels on horseback
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to high (500 to 525 degrees); see note
- Pat the oysters dry. Cut each slice of bacon crosswise in half. Wrap each oyster in half a slice of bacon and secure the bacon with toothpicks. Arrange the wrapped oysters on a rack and place in the oven. Bake eight to 10 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Drain on paper towels and serve each oyster in bacon on a rectangle of buttered toast.
- Traditionally, this savory is grilled by placing the wrapped oysters under a preheated broiler, turning as necessary, until the bacon is crisp. This may be done, but we prefer the oven method.
