How to prepare Baked Oysters with Mushrooms
To prepare the baked oysters with mushrooms, you need to open the oysters: For lemon and pepper oysters, make sure the oyster shells are closed 1, then open the oysters, which is a very delicate operation. Use the special knife with a thin tip, with finger protection, and a firm grip. Hold the oyster securely with one hand and with the other, grip the knife and look for the opening (you can request pre-drilled oysters at the fish market for easier opening). Insert the blade and cut the muscle located in the center 2; once it's cut, it will be easier to follow the circumference to open the oyster entirely 3.
Open the oysters and collect their liquid in a small bowl 4, then strain it through a sieve 5 and detach the oyster from the shell. Brush half of the shells because they will be used to hold the oysters and the breadcrumb topping. Now focus on the breadcrumb topping: clean the champignon mushrooms 6
and chop them 7, peel the shallot and chop it 8. In a pan, melt the butter and olive oil over low heat 9,
add the chopped shallot 10 and let it soften for 10 minutes, adding a little warm water 11, then add the champignon mushrooms 12,
Flavor with the oyster liquid 13 and cook for about 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and season with chopped parsley 14. Also chop the bread crumb 15
and place it in a bowl, add the sautéed mushrooms 16, and mix the breadcrumb topping 17. Take the cleaned shells, insert the mollusk in each, and cover with the mushroom breadcrumb topping 18.
Place the shells on a baking tray 19 and grill in the oven for 5 minutes until the breadcrumb topping is crispy and golden 20. Remove the baked oysters with mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving 21.
