Chef Marcel Lahsene's Baked Oysters Melanie
1/2 cup Champagne
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill
24 oysters shucked (retain nectar and bottom shells
12 ounces Brie sliced into 24 - 1/8" thick slices large enough to cover an oyster
lemon slices and dill sprigs for garnish
4 cups rock salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine champagne and cream in a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to about 1 cup. Blend the flour and butter and add to the sauce to thicken. Add the dill and a pinch of sea salt to season. Remove from the heat and reserve. Heat the oysters in their nectar in a sauté pan until the edges curl. Cover a baking pan with rock salt and place the bottom shells onto it. Spoon an oyster into each shell and cover with two teaspoons of the sauce and top with a slice of Brie. Place in the oven 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Arrange three on each small serving plate and serve with the remainder of the champagne.
