ANGELS ON HORSEBACK (BACON-WRAPPED OYSTERS)



Angels on Horseback (Bacon-Wrapped Oysters) image

Our three-ingredient recipe for angels on horseback (or bacon-wrapped oysters) comes together in a snap.

Categories     Appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 to 5 dozen small oysters ( shucked )
12 to 30 strips bacon (thinly cut)
2 to 3 lemons

Steps:

  • Slice the bacon strips in half. It is very important to get thin-cut bacon for this recipe, as thick bacon overwhelms the oysters. Likewise, it is important to get small oysters-otherwise, they become too large a mouthful.
  • Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each oyster and secure with a toothpick. Arrange on a broiling pan or get a grill ready.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped oysters under the broiler until they're crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • How long this will take on your grill depends on the heat; but I rarely do this on the grill, as the bacon fat falls through the grate and causes flare-ups. Then again, you do get a smoky flavor with real fire...
  • Take the oysters out and turn them over. Return to the broiler and crisp the other side. This should take about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Serve family-style on a big platter. Don't hit them with lemon juice until right before you serve them, otherwise it ruins the crispiness of the bacon.
  • Traditionally, this appetizer is served on buttered toast points, so if you're a stickler for tradition, that's the way to go.

ANGELS ON HORSEBACK



Angels on Horseback image

I first encountered Angels on horseback at the Santa Fe restaraunt in McAllen, Texas. I can't quite place what was in the cocktail sauce served with these but I came up with something that goes equally well with them. The sauce was something like a spicy Chinese Hot & Sour sauce. In the sauce I quote below, I always add an extra kick with Louisiana Hot Sauce! The water chestnuts give a little extra crunch to the bite.

Time 34m

Yield 25 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pint fresh oyster
8 -10 slices bacon, slices cut in thirds
25 slices water chestnuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
wooden toothpick
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
horseradish, to taste
louisiana hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain oysters. Place an oyster and a slice of water chestnut on each piece of bacon. Sprinkle with parsley and garlic salt. Wrap bacon around oyster and secure with wooden pick.
  • Place angels on a broiler rack, approximately 4 inches from heat source, and broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and broil on other side if desired. Cook only until bacon is done, being careful not to overcook oysters.
  • Serve with a mixture of mayonnaise, mustard and horseradish.

Tips:

  • Select plump, large dates. This will ensure that they can be easily stuffed with the bacon and cheese.
  • Use a sharp knife to make a slit in the dates. This will help prevent the dates from tearing when you stuff them.
  • Use your favorite type of cheese. Cream cheese, blue cheese, and goat cheese are all popular choices for stuffing dates.
  • Wrap the dates in bacon tightly. This will help keep the filling inside the dates while they are cooking.
  • Cook the dates until the bacon is crispy. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the dates warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.

Conclusion:

Angels on horseback are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your guests!
