- Preheat grill; place the rack about 12.5cm from the heat source.
- Beat eggs in a bowl. Add cream, hot sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the frying pan and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly. Place the oysters in the frying pan and brown, about 1 minute on each side. Let the liquid reduce a bit, about 30 seconds longer.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture over the oysters, keeping the oysters evenly distributed in the pan. After about 30 seconds, shake the pan slightly but do not stir. After about 3 minutes when the bottom and sides of the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and place the pan under the grill.
- Grill until the eggs begin to puff around the edges and the top is nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately from the frying pan in wedge-shaped pieces.

I made this tonight using a jar of small oysters and some farmers' market eggs. It was fast and easy--puffed up beautifully under the broiler! With a green salad and crusty bread, this dinner took less than 30 minutes to get on the table. - 23 Sep 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Oysters and eggs, who would have known! I used this recipe as inspiration and made mine with garlic, onion, red bell pepper, bacon and a splash of cognac. Very good! - 02 Feb 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Tried this this morning. Maybe I shouldn't give it only 4 stars since I didn't have all the ingredients on hand and had to make do with dried seasonings and evaporated milk. Also, what I didn't like about it may have been my fault. I like my eggs a little soft and didn't know how to do that cooking them 2 different ways. My husband said it was OK and had a LOT of suggestions on how to fix it. I don't think I'll be making it again. - 14 May 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
