INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the Bayou Blast - {Emerils Creole Seasoning} recipe which is
included in this collection. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. For braised
leeks: Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Add the shallots, garlic, and
leeks and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the white wine and continue
cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or until the leeks are tender. Season with
salt and pepper. For the Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a
double-boiler with water, and bring it almost to a boil, lower the
heat so the water is hot but not boiling. Mix the egg yolks and lemon
juice together in a stainless steel mixing bowl, place over the water
bath and whisk until the yolks are at a ribbon stage. Combine the
butter and the reserved tasso fat together and gradually whisk into
the egg mixture in a steady stream. Season with the salt and pepper
and continue whisking until thick. For the oysters, combine the
breadcrumbs and Bayou Blast ~ {Emerils Creole Seasoning} together in a
mixing bowl, in small amounts completely coat each oyster with this
mixture. Place each oyster back in its shell with a small amount of
the leek mixture underneath. Broil until golden-brown, about 2 to 3
minutes. Place all the oysters on a platter and drizzle the Tasso
Hollandaise over the entire platter. This recipe yields 4 appetizer
servings. Recipe Source: ESSENCE OF EMERIL with Emeril Lagasse From
