Instructions
- 1Stew the oysters in their own liquor in a small saucepan over medium heat. This should take about 5 minutes.
- 2Remove the oysters from the pan. In the same pan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the oyster liquor, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- 3Chop up the oysters and add them to the sauce. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
- 4In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the cream. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny. Before folding over, spoon a few spoonfuls of the oyster mixture into the center of the omelette. Carefully fold the omelette in half. Turn it carefully onto a hot dish, with the remaining sauce around it. Serve immediately.
