Arrange the 12 oysters on a baking sheet, nestled in salt or crumpled foil to keep them level. Spoon about 1 tsp of the herb butter onto each oyster.

Broil the oysters 4-5 inches from the heat until the butter is melted and bubbling and the edges of the oysters just curl, about 3-4 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast the 4 bread slices until golden and crisp. Serve the oysters hot with the toasted bread for sopping up the buttery juices.
