The Oyster House






List of Ingredients



• 2 to 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 1/2 cup quartered mushrooms
  
• 4 medium-size freshly shucked Pacific oysters, chopped into quarters
  
• 6 fresh spinach leaves (if large, tear into smaller pieces)
  
• 3 eggs
  
• Pinch of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. In a frying pan, heat a small amount of olive oil; saute the mushrooms and fresh oysters for about 2 to 3 minutes until the oysters are firm or about 90% cooked. Add the spinach leaves and wilt for about 30 seconds.
   
   
2. Whip eggs in separate container, then add to the fry pan. Cook the omelet slowly on medium heat, on both sides.
   
   
3. When eggs are done, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Home fries, bacon and toast are great complements to make it a meal.
   
   Yield: One 3-egg omelet
   
   Legend has it that this recipe derives its name from a man on death row during the Depression. For his last meal, he requested eggs and oysters to make it difficult to hang him since both were hard to find at that time.
