1. In a non-stick pan on a low heat with no oil, sauté the prosciutto till it begins to crisp, then add the brioche with the butter & fry till golden. Allow to cool slightly till warm & crumble to a fine consistency. Mix in the herbs & lemon zest & season to taste. Set aside but keep warm.
2. Remove oysters from shells & place in a bowl, pour any juice that comes from the shells in with the oysters. Set the shells on a plate.
3. In a shallow saucepan place 400mls of water, with 3 teaspoons of salt & the lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
4. Pour the oysters into the simmering saucepan allowing to poach for approx 30 seconds, then remove & place back into the shells. Top each oyster with a full teaspoon of crumble mix & serve while still warm.

Note: prosciutto can be substituted with quality belly bacon or even ham. Poaching maintains the moisture & a plump the oyster up slightly - the crumble is a tasty colourful option that also offers texture.
