Angels on Horseback

Cut some little round pieces of bread about a quarter of an inch thick, and two inches in diameter. Fry them in clarified butter to a golden brown, then spread over them a thin coating of anchovy paste, and on this place a little slice of crisply fried bacon. On the bacon put a bearded oyster which has been simply warmed in the oven between two plates with a little butter and its liquor, and seasoned with a tiny dust of nutmeg. Then sprinkle over the top a little chopped parsley, and dish the crusts up in a row. Pour the oyster liquor round them, and serve for a savoury or a breakfast dish. Probable cost, 3d. each.
