Oyster Gratin image

These oysters are melt-in-your mouth tender and the savoury mixture gives them just the right flavour. Buy already shucked oysters for the dish to save some time. From Lucy Waverman at Food and Drink.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the results were disappointing. The oysters were tough and the sauce was watery.

The oysters were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the oysters for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
