Only 22 days till Mardi Gras.
This is a little different than the classic, baked on the half shell.
1 pint oysters
1 shallot, diced
1/4 lb. bacon, diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock, double strength
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup chopped spinach, drained well
1 cup grated swiss cheese
parmesan cheese
cracker crumbs
In a saute pan, cook bacon until crispy. Add shallot and saute till tender. Deglaze pan with white wine and reduce by 1/2. Add chicken stock and cream, bring to a boil and turn down. Add swiss cheese, stirring constantly. If necessary, thicken with cornstarch and water, about 1 tbsp. of each.
Preheat oven to 350. Pour oysters into buttered casserole dish. Top with sauce, then cracker crumbs and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning and bake for about 10 minutes or until parmesan is browned.
