Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except milk. Heat over medium-low heat just until the edges of the oysters curl (about 10 minutes).
  2. In another saucepan, scald the milk (or heavy cream or half and half). (See the blog post for information on how to scald milk.)
  3. When the edges of the oysters have curled, add the scalded milk to the oyster mixture and stir well. Taste and add salt only if you think it's needed.
  4. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not use low-fat or reduced fat milk for this recipe.
  • Be sure to include the liquid the oysters are packed in (also known as oyster liquor or oyster brine). Or, if you're shucking your own fresh oysters, be sure to catch the liquid that's inside the shells as you open the oysters.
