Stuffed oysters
35 min
Hi my husband loves oysters straight out of the shell, but as much as I have tried them, I just don't like the texture. But cooked like this they are delicious.

- Preheat the oven to 200 C / 180 C fan / Gas 6.
- Open the oysters and tip into a small saucepan with their juice, keep the bottom of the shell.
- Tip away most of the juice only keeping enough to cover the oysters in the pan. Bring to the boil then turn off the heat.
- In another pan melt the butter and soften the onion. Add the flour and stir. Add the milk a little at a time to make a sauce, stirring all the time until thickened. Add salt and pepper and add some of the oyster juice to make a nice thick sauce.
- Replace the oysters in shells, place on a baking tray and spoon over the sauce, sprinkle with bread crumbs and fish stock powder.
- Bake in a hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When they start to bubble they are ready.
