Engelen te paard

This classic British Victorian dish is typically enjoyed as an after-dinner nibble or appetizer. It consists of grilled (and sometimes skewered), bacon-wrapped oysters which are often drizzled with fresh lemon juice for extra flavor. The dish takes its poetic name after the visual appearance of curled bacon, which looks like angel wings. Angels on horseback are best enjoyed served on toast, and paired with hollandaise sauce.
