angels on horseback

Apparently these aren't really Angels on Hirsebak - but I had them this way at Merroir in Topping and thought, I can do that. A little Googling informs me the name usually applied to bacon wrapped oysters. This is better.

Shuck fresh oysters, keep one on the half shell. Pour out some liquid if too much - but not all of it. Place an oyster size piece of prosciutto (or smaller of sliced Va ham) on each oyster. Then sprinkle with fresh sage, thyme, rosemary and chives chopped up. Then place a thin sliced of butter on top. All in a cookie pan with enough edge to catch any spillage. Bake at 350 to 400 about 10 minutes - just to when the ham starts to curl. Eat hot. Kiss the shell. (You'll want to). Best appetizer ever. And even better when the oysters are from here.
