• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 6

ingredients

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

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Cut bacon into pieces about 1 to 1 1/2 inches square.
3. String oysters and bacon squares alternately on six skewers, being careful to run skewers through the firmer part of the shellfish.
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. Bake for five minutes, or until bacon crisps.
6. Place a skewer on each slice of toast.
7. Drench with pan juices and serve immediately.
