11. Oysters Fried on Toast.

Take as many oysters as you need, dip each into well beaten egg, and then into bread crumbs, fry in butter a golden colour, sprinkle with pepper and salt.

Have ready as many pieces of fried bread, cut out with a round cutter, as you have oysters, lay an oyster on each; garnish the top with a sprinkling of chopped green parsley and a piece or two of lemon cut in dice shape.
