ANGELS ON HORSEBACK (PBS)

6 oysters, shelled or canned
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 slices white bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch each salt & pepper
2 slices bacon
1 tablespoon butter, softened
4 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix oysters, juice, sauce, parsley and pepper. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.

Using a round cutter cut the bread into 6 rounds. Brush one side of the bread with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until toasted. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Stretch out the bacon to twice their length and cut into 3 pieces. Wrap oysters in bacon and skewer with toothpick.

Bake at 350 degrees F until crispy.

Thinly coat the outer edge of the toast rounds with the butter. Press the parsley onto the butter to form a ring around the toast. Top with the warm oyster and serve immediately.

Hi Barbara,

I'm not sure if this is the same show that you're referring to, but the recipe fits your description.

Happy Cooking!
