Oysters En Brochette Recipes

OYSTERS EN BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Cook it slightly, but not to crispness--it should still be flexible--and let cool a bit until comfortable to handle.
• Interlace the bacon with oysters and mushroom caps on skewer as follows: spear the bacon at one end, then spear a mushroom cap and oyster; bring the bacon down past the mushroom and oyster and spear it again; spear another mushroom and oyster; and so forth until all oysters and mushrooms are used up; end by spearing the other end of the bacon.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice and brush with butter; grind pepper to taste lightly over the whole thing.
• Broil or grill until oysters begin to curl and bacon is crisp.
• Serve with hollandaise sauce.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until not quite crisp. Alternate six oysters and six half strips of bacon folded on each of four 8-inch skewers.
• Make a batter with the egg and milk and season well with salt and pepper. Dip each skewer in batter, making sure batter coats everything on skewer. Roll in flour and deep-fry in hot oil until golden.
• Serve on toast points with lemon wedges.
