Oysters

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream

    In a saucepan, combine the hon dashi and cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it begins to simmer. Reduce the heat and let it thicken slightly.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the charred jalapeño and bourbon. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Top the Oysters

    Spoon a generous amount of the hon dashi cream mixture over each oyster. Top with grated parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and Ritz cracker crumbs.

  5. 5

    Roasting

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm as an appetizer.
