Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 eggs; 1/4 cup heavy cream; 2 dashes hot pepper sauce; 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil; 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided; 1 teaspoon olive oil; 1 tablespoon butter; 12 shucked small oysters, drained; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Servings: persons

6 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
12 shucked small oysters, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1
Preheat the broiler; place the rack about 5 inches from the broiling unit.
2
Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add cream, hot sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese.
3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly. Place the oysters in the skillet and brown on both sides, about 1 minute on each side. Let the liquid reduce a bit, about 30 seconds longer.
4
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the oysters, keeping the oysters evenly distributed in the pan. After about 30 seconds, shake the pan slightly but do not stir. After about 3 minutes when the bottom and sides of the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the pan under the broiler.
5
Broil until the eggs begin to puff around the edges and the top is nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately from the skillet in wedge-shaped pieces.
