Oysters En Brochette

Ingredients

• 1/4 lb bacon
• 30 large oysters, shucked
• 6 slices toast
• skewers (if using bamboo skewers, soak for an hour before using)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. 2

   Cut bacon into pieces about 1 to 1 1/2 inches square.

3. 3

   String oysters and bacon squares alternately on six skewers, being careful to run skewers through the firmer part of the shellfish.

4. 4

   Place skewers across a narrow deep baking pan so that the oysters will hang down, but not touch the bottom of the pan; leave space between skewers so that the heat will pass evenly around them.

5. 5

   Bake for five minutes, or until bacon crisps.

6. 6

   Place a skewer on each slice of toast.

7. 7

   Drench with pan juices and serve immediately.
