Sauteed Oysters On Toast Recipes

MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Heat a wide skillet over high heat and add butter, swirling pan. When butter begins to sizzle, add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add thyme and garlic, and stir to coat. Season well with salt and pepper and continue to sauté for a minute more, then add sherry, if using. Add crème fraîche and let mixture simmer 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast bread slices until golden. Lightly butter them and place on individual warm plates.
• Spoon mushrooms and juices over toasted bread. Top with chopped parsley.

SAUTéED OYSTERS WITH WINE AND HERBS

Steps:

• To shuck the oysters, you need a clean kitchen towel and a short sharp knife with a good handle. The towel will protect your hand from the knife and will help you keep the oyster in place.
• Make sure all the oysters' shells are tightly closed. Inspect and discard any oyster that's open or that appears to be open. When in doubt, go the safe route and discard any suspicious oysters. Open oysters can harbor dangerous bacteria.
• With the help of a stiff brush, vigorously scrub the oysters under cold running water. This will help get rid of any debris or sand that might still be attached to their surface.
• Place the oyster on a towel, rounded side down. Holding the oyster in the towel, insert the tip of the oyster knife into the hinge, which is on the flat side of the oyster. Once the knife is in the hinge, firmly twist the knife. The oyster should easily pop open. Continue with the remaining oysters.
• Drain the juice of each oyster out into a small bowl. Scrape the oyster meat from the shells onto a plate.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add chopped onions and sauté until just softened, or about 4 minutes.
• Add the tarragon and wine, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add oysters to the pan and cook just long enough for them to curl at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Shake the pan from side to side to keep the oysters coated with the buttery sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Enjoy!

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Remove crusts from 6 slices of bread and lightly butter one side with melted butter. Place bread slices, buttered sides up, in a large shallow baking pan and cook until golden brown around edges, 6-8 minutes. Be sure to check often to make sure toast isn't getting too dark. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• When cool, cut each slice diagonally into 4 triangles. (Note: toast points can be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container.).
• To make sauteed oysters:.
• Drain oysters and pick out any pieces of shell. Whisk the eggs and water in a small bowl. Dredge oysters in flour, dip them into the egg mixture, and then in crumbs. This may be done up to an hour in advance of cooking and kept refrigerated until ready to cook.
• Heat butter in skillet and saute chopped garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add oysters and brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove oysters and keep warm.
• Add lemon juice, worcestershire, tabasco, wine and salt. Heat quickly over high heat. Place oysters on toast points and pour pan juices over oysters. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

SAUTEED OYSTERS ON TOAST

Steps:

• For the toast, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim the crusts from the bread and discard. Spread the softened butter on both sides of bread slices. Place the bread slices on a cookie sheet and grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once so that both sides of the bread are golden brown.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat, add the ham and sauté for two to three minutes, until it is slightly crisp. Add the shallots and the green pepper, then turn heat to low and cook for another two minutes. Add the oysters and cook until they have plumped up and are beginning to curl on the edges. Quickly swirl in the salt, pepper, Tabasco and lemon juice. Spoon over toast. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
