Ingredients
- six oysters
- five min- utes in a quick oven
- cayenne
- pepper
- salt
- vinegar
- lemon juice
Directions
Six oysters, grated breadcrumbs, butter, seasoning. Of course you must be very particular to see that the oysters are nice and fresh. Beard them and take away the muscle; then, after covering a small saucer with the bread-crumbs, which should be fine, put the oysters on the crumbs and season with a very little cayenne pepper and salt. Add a few drops of good vinegar or lemon juice to the oysters ; then cover with the bread- crumbs and dot with tiny pieces of butter. Cook for five min- utes in a quick oven, or until the crumbs have turned a light brown. The beard or frill of the oyster when cooked curls up into a hard, rather indigestible piece, and spoils the delicate flavor of the dish. That is why it should be removed at the very start.
