Ingredients: 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese; ¼ cup heavy cream; 1 tsp chopped fresh basil; 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano; ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, your favorite; 6 shucked small oysters, drained and cut in half; 1/4 cup tablespoons Flour; 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning; 4 oz pancetta, diced; 1 Tbsp Cold butter; 1/2 cup Sharp White Cheddar, shredded; 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Whisk eggs together in a bowl; add in Parmesan cheese, cream, basil, oregano, scallions, black pepper, and hot sauce. Whisk to combine

Mix the Old Bay Seasoning with the flour and toss the halved oysters in it. Shake off the excess with a fine sieve

Add the diced pancetta to a preheated non-stick pan and cook until half crisp over medium-high heat

Add oysters; brown, about 1 minute per side. Reduce liquid a bit, about 30 seconds more

Add butter; melt in the center of the pan

Slowly pour egg mixture over oysters, being careful not to break up the oysters; cook for 30 seconds. Shake skillet slightly, pulling the cooked eggs on the edge into the middle. Continue pulling and turning the eggs gently until almost set

Stir in the cheddar cheese until just melted. Move to a serving tray and top with chopped parsley

Serve with Aleppo Pepper Home Fries and a good sturdy rye toast. Enjoy!
