Today I share with you the second last post of Part 1/Snacks or Starters. What is amazing about these delicious little bites is that you can prepare the different elements of this dish before the time and when your guests arrive, just pop them under the griller and serve!!! Let's make them, shall we?
Smoked Oysters Smothered in Cheese
2 tins smoked oysters
1 French baguette
about 500 gr strong cheddar cheese- grated
1 heaped teaspoon English mustard
1/2 tsp paprika
olive oil
3 heaped Tbsp good mayonnaise
2 eggs
Cut bread in slices , drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden brown( do only one side of the bread) - can be done before hand.
Mix all ingredients except the oysters - can be done before hand
Place one oyster on a slice of the baguette and cover with the cheese mixture. Repeat until all the slices are done. When you are ready to serve, pop them under the griller and watch them!!!
Sprinkle with chopped herbs or dress them up a little for a show stopping treat!

I LOVE smoked oysters...I grew up eating them. My three year old son has recently started to eat them too and LOVES them. This recipe looks fantastic. I will be trying this soon.
Another easy peasy dish packed with flavour Nina. You are definitely doing your part to try and keep it stress free for the rest of us:D
I can gobble up smoked oyesters too. Love this recipe with the cheese.
Here's my confession: I've never had oysters!
Beautiful Photo.
I usually just eat smoked oysters on a cracker, I love all the added flavor you've given them

Hi there! I never eaten a smoked oyster before but the photo on your blog seriously temps me to try one. Great presentation!
I haven't had smoke oysters since I was a kid. Thanks for reminding me about them!
That sounds good although I've never eaten oysters (too expensive) nor seen smoked oysters here! Scrumptious, I'm sure!
Cheers,
Rosa
The sight of melted cheese is so welcoming and I like how easy it is to do too! :)
Nina, I'm all over this dish! We have tins of smoked oysters in Canada and how can I not try these? Cheese - check! Oysters - check! Smoky flavours - CHECK!
i've never much cared for oysters, but smothered in enough cheese and glorious mustard, i think i'd enjoy them quite a lot. :)
mmmm.. smoked oysters. I'm a sucker for anything smoked, and cheese, and baguette... wait! I love this! :-)
I love any kind of oysters, and to have them in the pantry a big plus. This is a wonderful recipe which I am sure to use. Thanks Nina and I share your enthusiasm for Cynthia's book!
I like pretty much anything smothered in cheese and those look really good.

aaaahhh, I do miss smoked oysters - they were always a cokctial party staple in SA but not nearly as popular here. These are like a deliciously affordable version of oysters Rockefeller!
