Hangtown Fry
Procedure
Chef Critique - Nice plating, oysters were nicely cooked, egg still tender
My Critique - Nice idea, though I'm not fond of cooked oysters.
Group Critique - Probably wouldn't serve it in an oyster shell as most of the egg ran out during cooking.
- 1 Preheat broiler. Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain on a paper towel, crumble, and set aside.
- 2 Fry the ham pieces in the bacon fat. Drain on a paper towel and set aside. Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat.
- 3 In a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, water, parsley, and cheese; season to taste.
- 4 Dip the oysters in the flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Fry in the bacon fat for 1 minute on both sides. Stir in bacon and ham.
- 5 Pour the egg mixture over the oysters and let them cook over low heat, without stirring, until the eggs begin to set, 8 to 10 minutes.
- 6 Place the skillet under the broiler and lightly brown the top. Serve immediately.
