Hangtown Fry with Parmesan and Fresh Herbs image

My variation on the traditional Hangtown Fry contains cheese and fresh herbs and is finished under the broiler where the egg/oyster mixture puffs up like a cross between a frittata and a souffle. I get the best results using a cast iron skillet. It's important that the oven be hot before you place the skillet under the broiler.

Time 25m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
12 shucked small oysters, drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler; place the rack about 5 inches from the broiling unit.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add cream, hot sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I like to add a little bit of chopped green onion to the sauce. It gives it a nice flavor.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of oysters. But I'm so glad I did! The oysters were cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again.
