Best Oysters With Bacon And Horseradish Recipes

OYSTERS WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• Beat the cream to soft peaks in a chilled bowl; then fold in the horseradish, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Taste for seasoning, adding horseradish and lemon juice as necessary; the mixture should be highly seasoned.
• If you have a fish or vegetable grate, preheat it on the grill grate (medium-high) for 5 minutes, then arrange the oysters on it, rounded side down-otherwise, arrange the oysters directly on the grill grate; grill 6-10 minutes, until the shells open.
• Transfer the oysters to serving plates or a platter, discarding any top shells or oysters that did not open.
• Place a spoonful of horseradish cream on each oyster and serve immediately.

SHUCKED OYSTERS WITH THREE SAUCES

Steps:

• Horseradish: Coarsely chop horseradish, then transfer to food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add sugar, salt and vinegar and pulse to combine.
• Jalapeno Mignonette: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to dissolve sugar.
• Red Wine Mignonette: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to dissolve sugar.
• Oysters: Just before serving, arrange chilled and freshly shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice. Pour sauces into small serving bowls and place alongside oysters with lemon wedges. (Sauces can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.)

BACON AND CHEESE OYSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Wash oysters thoroughly.
• Shuck and place oysters in deep half shell, removing any remaining particles of shell.
• Arrange on baking sheet and top each with 1/2 tbsp of cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and one slice of the pepper.
• Bake 10 minutes or until edges of oysters begin to curl.

OYSTERS 'N' BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until shrunken, but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the sugar, soy sauce and garlic with a fork. Wrap each oyster with a piece of bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Place wrapped oysters into the dish with the sauce.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sauce has thickened and bacon is nicely crisped at the edges.

OYSTERS WITH BACON AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp and browned. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the fat in the pan. Drain the bacon on paper towels and reserve.
• Add the onion to the skillet and saute in the bacon fat until tender and golden. Stir in the flour and thyme, then whisk in the wine. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thick. Stir in the horseradish and the bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread this mixture on top of each oyster. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. The recipe can be prepared in advance up to this point and refrigerated until just before serving.
• Preheat a broiler. Arrange the oysters with their topping on a baking sheet. Put under the broiler and broil until lightly browned and bubbling, three to five minutes. Serve at once.
