My variation on the traditional Hangtown Fry contains cheese and fresh herbs and is finished under the broiler where the egg/oyster mixture puffs up like a cross between a frittata and a souffle. I get the best results using a cast iron skillet. It’s important that the oven be hot before you place the skillet under the broiler.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 12 shucked small oysters, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler; place the rack about 5 inches from the broiling unit.
Step 2
Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add cream, hot sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly. Place the oysters in the skillet and brown on both sides, about 1 minute on each side. Let the liquid reduce a bit, about 30 seconds longer.
Step 4
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the oysters, keeping the oysters evenly distributed in the pan. After about 30 seconds, shake the pan slightly but do not stir. After about 3 minutes when the bottom and sides of the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the pan under the broiler.
Step 5
Broil until the eggs begin to puff around the edges and the top is nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately from the skillet in wedge-shaped pieces.
