Oysters Rockefeller

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400.
2. 2
   Spread a 1/2-inch-thick layer of rock salt on a large baking sheet and across the bottoms of 6 large plates.
3. 3
   Arrange the reserved oyster shells on the baking sheet.
4. 4
   Put 1 oyster in each shell and top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sauce, spreading the sauce evenly out to the edge of the shell to completely cover the oyster.
5. 5
   (Alternatively, transfer the sauce to a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip and pipe the sauce over the oysters.)
6. 6
   Bake until the sauce is lightly browned and the oysters begin to curl around the edges, about 20 minutes.
7. 7
   Using tongs or a spatula, carefully transfer the hot shells to the salt-covered plates and serve immediately.
