Baked Oysters in their Shells

Open some oysters, remove the beards and dip them first in beaten egg and then
in finely grated breadcrumbs that have been seasoned with pepper, salt and grated
nutmeg. Place the oysters in their lower shells, put a small piece of butter on each,
and bake for a few minutes in a brisk oven. When ready, place the shells with the
oysters on a dish, squeeze a small quantity of lemon juice over each, and serve.
