Oyster Gratin image

These oysters are melt-in-your mouth tender and the savoury mixture gives them just the right flavour. Buy already shucked oysters for the dish to save some time. From Lucy Waverman at Food and Drink.

I'm not a big fan of oysters, but I tried this oyster gratin and was pleasantly surprised. The oysters were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my oyster gratin turned out terrible. The oysters were tough, and the sauce was watery. I won't be making this recipe again.

This oyster gratin was just okay. The oysters were cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I'm a huge fan of oysters, so I was excited to try this recipe. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The oysters were overcooked, and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

This oyster gratin was a disaster! The oysters were rubbery, and the sauce was watery. I don't know what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my oyster gratin didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The oysters were a bit overcooked, and the sauce was too thin. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
