Hot oysters in their shells with champagne sabayon

Rating
Hot oysters in their shells with champagne sabayon Type of dish : Starter
To serve : 4
Preparation : 20 min
Cooking : 10 min
Budget : Reasonable
From : France
Difficulty : Medium
 
Ingredients :
24 oysters (n°3)
2 cl dry champagne
3 eggs, separated
125 g clarified butter
chervil to garnish
 
Recipe :
Open the oysters, saving the juice and the shells.
Rinse the oysters and allow to drain on kichen paper.
Rinse the shells and leave them to dry.
Sieve the oyster juice to remove any sediment or broken shell.
Poach the oysters in their juice, then place them back on the shell.
Add the champagne to the juice and reduce.
Once reduced, add the egg yolks and beat furiously until thick and fluffy. Cook gently and add the tepid butter*.
check seasoning, then arrange the sabayon on top of the oysters and garnish with chervil
Serve immediately



Advice :
Clarified butter is made by melting it and discarding the sediment left at the bottom of the pan. It is purer and can be used for cooking at higher temperatures.
Recommended wine: Deutz Blanc de Blancs 1995
*The sabayon and the butter must be at the same temperature, it is the key to the recipe's success.
