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.

Oysters With Cream

Put a pint of cream in a saucepan with a small piece of onion and a little mace tied up in a muslin bag. Boil and stir in a tablespoonful of flour mixed with a little milk or cream. Put one quart of oysters in a saucepan with their liquor and boil them for a few minutes until tender, skimming frequently. Remove the oysters, drain, put them in the saucepan with the cream, remove the onion and mace, pour it into a dish and serve hot.

Oysters With Parmesan Cheese

Drain the oysters as free as possible from liquor; spread a dish thickly with butter, lay the oysters on it, strew finely-minced parsley over them, season with pepper, pour one-half glass of champagne over and cover thickly with grated Parmesan cheese. Put the dish into the oven, and when nicely browned on top, drain the fat carefully off the oysters, and serve, while very hot, in the same dish.
