Brussels sprouts for breakfast ...

 

now that's challenging .


If Brussels sprouts for breakfast are challenging, how about shucking oysters for today’s Hangtown Fry?

Oysters, breaded and fried in bacon fat on scrambled eggs with crispy bacon.  I consulted a bunch of recipes but went with the one in the Hog Island Book of Fish and Seafood except that I took the oysters out of the pan before pouring in the eggs so they’d stay crispy. 
These oysters were on the large size for this purpose but I wanted to try it and worked with what I got in my weekly fish share. 
Spicy cornbread biscuit on the side.
