Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Slice the tops off the rolls and remove the bread inside to form hollows.
  • Melt 55g of butter and brush it onto the lids and the inside and outside of the rolls.
  • Bake the loaves and lids on a baking sheet for 10 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Clean and open the oysters, reserving the liquor.
  • Heat the remaining 55g of butter in a pan and sauté oysters for 1 minute.
  • Remove the oysters, cut them into three pieces, and set aside.
  • Combine the liquor, cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon juice in the pan.
  • Boil the mixture steadily while stirring until a thick sauce forms.
  • Return the oysters to the sauce to reheat and spoon into the warm rolls.
