Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Creole mustard, minced shallots, and black pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab & Gorgonzola Crust

    In a separate bowl, combine lump crab meat, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Roasting Oysters

  1. 3

    Roast the Oysters

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place oysters on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until they are heated through.

  2. 4

    Top with Crab & Gorgonzola Mixture

    Remove the oysters from the oven and carefully spoon the crab and Gorgonzola mixture on top of each oyster.

  3. 5

    Final Roast

    Return the oysters to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Oysters

    Remove oysters from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle the Creole mustard mignonette over the oysters and top with a dollop of Bowfin caviar before serving.
