OYSTERS EN BROCHETTE



Oysters En Brochette image

A neat, cute appetizer. I'm guessing at the amount of lemon juice and butter called for; just use however much you need. If you find the bacon shrivels up too much on the skewer, try rinsing it with water and patting it dry with a paper towel before cooking. Since I actually make a bunch at once but am just giving you the directions for making one, I didn't know how to figure the preparation time. You'll figure it out.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 slice bacon
4 oysters
4 button mushroom caps
1 wooden skewer, soaked in water 30 minutes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon melted butter
fresh ground pepper
hollandaise sauce

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.
