Broiled Oysters on Toast Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Broiled Oysters on Toast Recipe, first select large fine oysters. Strain off the liquor and dry on a napkin. Butter the broiler and lay the oysters on it. Dust them with salt and pepper, and broil over a hot fire, turning the broiler so that both sides of the oyster shall be cooked. Have ready on a hot platter squares or rounds of buttered toast; place one or two oysters on each piece, put a bit of butter on top, squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over, and serve at once, garnished with cress.

The cooking and serving must be done quickly, with no loss of time for cooling.
