Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oysters
  • 100 ml water
  • 1/4 onion, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 60 ml dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 300 ml whole milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon miso
  • 100 g cream cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground nutmeg to taste
  • Ground pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Instructions

  1. Place your cleaned oysters in a large pot, add water to the bottom of the pot, and season the oysters with salt. For the dozen oysters, you can use 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover the pot and cook over high heat until they open.
  2. Open the oysters, detach them from their shells, and place them in the deeper half of the shell. Arrange the oysters on a baking tray with a bed of coarse salt underneath to help stabilize them.
  3. In another pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the wine and wait for it to evaporate.
  4. Add the remaining butter and once it has melted and starts to foam, add the flour. Fry for about 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add cold milk to the pan, stirring continuously with a whisk (making a béchamel sauce). Once all the milk is added, incorporate the miso and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Add the cream cheese and mix well.
  7. Season with ground pepper, adjust the salt, add nutmeg and chopped parsley.
  8. Spoon the cream mixture over the oysters and top with grated Parmesan.
  9. Bake with the broiler on until the cheese is golden.
  10. Serve immediately!
