Stuffed Oysters

Put the grated yolks of four hard boiled eggs into a basin and mix in half the quantity of minced bacon or salt fat pork, add a little pepper or chopped parsley and make them all into a paste by adding the uncooked yolk of another egg. Split open four dozen oysters, stuff them with this mixture, put them in large oyster shells, coat them over with breadcrumbs, put a little warmed butter on top, place them in an oven and bake until done. Put them on a dish, garnish with pieces of fried bread and serve.
