--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      Cups          olive oil -- for frying
   2      Dozen         oysters -- shucked
                        bottom shells reserved -- washed and dried
   1      Cup           milk
     1/2  Cup           flour
                        seasoned with black pepper and nutmeg
   4                    egg whites -- slightly whipped
   1      Cup           fresh bread crumbs

Preheat oil to 365 degrees F.

Pick through oysters to make sure there are no shell pieces attached and
place in milk. Remove one oyster, shake it dry and dredge in seasoned
flour. Remove and dredge in egg whites. Remove, shake off excess liquid,
and dredge in bread crumbs. Continue until all oysters are breaded. Place
six oysters at a time in hot oil and fry until dark golden brown, about 1
to 2 minutes. Remove and replace in warmed shells. Serve immediately with
spumante.
