Mix to combine ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC In a baking dish, place 8 mounds of salt paste (to stabilize the oyster shells while baking; 4 oysters are demonstrated in the video but the recipe makes enough sauce and breadcrumb mixture for 8 oysters) Place one reserved oyster shell on each mound of salt paste. Remove cream mixture from heat and spoon about 1 tbsp into each shell Place oyster meat on top and pack breadcrumb mixture on each oyster Bake for 7 minutes (or broil on high 2-3 minutes). Transfer to a serving platter atop mounds of salt paste and serve. RECIPE FROM: http://how2heroes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
