Oysters, Finnoise

Open twenty-four fresh, large oysters; detach them entirely from the deep shells, but leave them in the same deep shells with their own gravy. Finely chop up two medium, green peppers and evenly divide them on top of the twenty-four oysters. Squeeze two fresh red tomatoes through a sieve into a bowl and pour the juice over the oysters. Cut twenty-four very thin pieces bacon one inch square, and arrange a piece on top of each oyster. Dredge a tablespoon fresh bread crumbs over all. Place them on a tin and bake in the oven for fifteen minutes. Remove, dress on a hot dish and serve. Should any of the juice from the oysters drop in the pan pour it over them before serving.
