Ingredients

  • Serves: 6
  • 24 Oysters, removed from the shell
  • 12 Rashers Streaky bacon, rinded
  • 12 small slices Toast
  • Butter
  • 1 Bunch Watercress

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F / Gas 6.

Stretch the bacon so that it doesn't shrink when it's cooked. Use the back of a knife. Cut each rasher in half.

Wrap a piece of bacon round each oyster. Place on a baking sheet. Keep them packed up tight so that they don't unravel. Bake for about 8 minutes.

Butter the toast. Arrange 2 angels on each piece and garnish the dish with the watercress.
