OYSTER IN THE PATTY SHELL
This is definitely one of the most romantic
dishes we've come across. My sister and I did a dry run making them a
few days ago and they are fantastic. We gotta hand it to Paula Deen, sometimes
you just gotta use things like butter and milk and cream cheese to make
the perfect dish. She suggests that you can use a store bought mini pie
crust to save time making thecrust. We wouldn't think of it. This would
be a great accompaniment to your Valentine's Day dinner.
OYSTER IN THE PATTY SHELL
1/2 pound button mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
Pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup fresh oysters, drained and chopped
Crust:
1 1/2 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Freshly chopped parsley, for
garnish
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Oyster Preparation:
In a frying pan, saute the mushrooms in butter until tender. Blend in
flour and cook until bubbly. Gradually add milk and cook until smooth
and thickened, stirring constantly. Add salt, celery salt, pepper, lemon
juice, and oysters. Cook over medium-low heat until oysters start to curl
up, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crust Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Soften cream cheese and butter
and blend well in a medium bowl. Stir in flour to form dough. Transfer
dough into a plastic kitchen bag and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Remove from fridge and shape into 7 balls about 1/2-ounce each. Flatten
and place in an ungreased 4-ounce cup muffin tin. Bake 30 to 40 minutes,
or until golden.
Assembly:
Fill crusts with oyster filling; garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Serve
hot.
