Teaspoon Minced garlic  
Cup Small diced mirlitons; cooked until tender  
Tablespoon Finely chopped parsley  
Dash Worcestershire sauce  
/4 Cup Chopped green onions  
Cup Cubed white bread  
/4 Cup Grated Parmigiano−Reggiano cheese  
−1/2 Cup Hollandaise sauce; warm  
Tablespoon Finely chopped parsley  
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  
Drain the oysters, reserving 1 to 2 cups of the liquor and set aside. In a  
large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the onions,  
bell peppers and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute the vegetables  
until they are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, mirlitons and  
parsley. Saute for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 to  
3
minutes. Add the green onions, the oyster liquor and the bread. Mix until  
the mixture is incorporated. Remove from the heat. Turn the bread mixture  
into a mixing bowl and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and cayenne. Mix  
well. Season the oysters with salt and cayenne. Place the oysters back into  
the shell. Place a heaping spoonful of the dressing on top of each oyster  
and press firmly. Place the shells on a baking sheet and place in the oven.  
Bake until slightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.  
Serve the oysters warm, with a drizzle of Hollandaise and garnished with  
parsley.
