Ingredients List
Fresh oysters in the half shell – 6 to 8 oysters, cleaned
¼ cup champagne or sparkling white wine
1 small shallot, finely chopped
¼ cup thickened cream
White pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste (optional)
Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Rock salt or crushed ice (for serving)
Steps
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the champagne and finely chopped shallot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until reduced by half. Stir in the thickened cream and season with freshly ground white pepper. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and reduces by half.
Preheat the grill on high. Scatter rock salt over the base of 2 small heatproof serving dishes and arrange the oysters on top of the rock salt. Evenly pour the cream mixture over the oysters. Cook under the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until golden. Set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly, then sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
