OYSTER PAN ROAST
4 Servings
INGREDIENTS
4 pieces French Bread, 2-3 inch slices cut on a bias
1 T Butter, softened
4 T Breadcrumbs
2 T Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 qt Heavy Cream
1 T Fresh Rosemary, minced
1 T Shallots, minced
20 each P & J Oysters
1 T Parsley, finely chopped for garnish

METHOD
  • To make croutons, butter both sides of each piece of French bread and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast in a 350° oven until crisp.
  • Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and reserve.
  • Reduce cream by 1/2 over medium-high heat in a heavy saucepot.
  • Stir in rosemary and shallots and reduce sauce until it thickens a bit. Strain to remove shallots and rosemary.
  • Ladle cream into an oven-safe skillet and bring to a boil.
  • Add oysters and season to taste with salt and white pepper.
  • Be careful not to over-salt the dish!
  • Remember, the oysters are somewhat salty.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the ends of the oysters start to curl, then remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese over oysters.
  • Broil in a 350° oven until breadcrumbs are toasted and golden brown.
  • To serve, place a French bread crouton in the center of each serving plate.
  • Spoon oysters and sauce around crouton.
  • Spear rosemary sprig through crouton and sprinkle dish with parsley.
    Tricks of the Trade: In the restaurant we serve this signature dish in individual 4 ounce French pans. For this pan roast presentation without all of the pans, serve your Oyster Pan Roast family style from a cast iron skillet.
