Oysters

Butter Braised Endive

Champagne Sabayon

Method

Oysters

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat the broiler in your oven. Carefully shuck the oysters, placing them on a baking tray. Drizzle the melted butter over the oysters, then sprinkle with minced garlic and lemon juice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Broil the Oysters

    Place the tray of oysters under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters begin to curl and they are slightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

Butter Braised Endive

  1. 3

    Sauté the Endive

    In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the halved endives cut side down and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the endives are tender and caramelized, turning occasionally. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Apple

  1. 4

    Prepare the Apple

    In a small bowl, toss the thinly sliced apple with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Champagne Sabayon

  1. 5

    Make the Sabayon

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Gradually whisk in the champagne and continue whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
