Oysters with Spinach and Pastry Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 freshly shucked oysters
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 cups washed and trimmed fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Michel Mix (see the recipe below)
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Pernod
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (10-count) can biscuit dough, rolled out to cover an 8-inch-square casserole dish
How to cook Oysters with Spinach and Pastry:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat the oil in a saute pan over high heat and add the butter. Saute the spinach and Michel Mix quickly, adding a little salt and pepper. After just a few minutes on high heat, remove the spinach, and press and strain the liquid, returning it to the saute pan.
- Line the spinach in an oval casserole dish, making sure all of the liquid is strained off. Dot the spinach with oysters evenly in the casserole.
- To the remaining liquid, add the lemon juice, Pernod, and heavy cream, and reduce over high heat until thick, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan. Pour this liquid over the spinach and oysters slowly and evenly.
- Top the casserole with rolled-out biscuit dough, overlapping the edges of the dish.
- Bake until golden, about 12 minutes.
