Preparation of Gratinated Oysters with Black Truffle
Carefully open the oysters. Gently detach them from their shells and reserve their liquor.
Strain the oyster water through a fine sieve to remove any impurities.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the finely chopped shallot and let it sweat for 2–3 minutes without browning.
Pour in the cream and the strained oyster liquor, then gently bring to a simmer.
Remove from heat, add the Plantin black truffle brisures, season lightly with pepper, and let infuse for 2 minutes to allow the aromas to develop.
Place the oysters back into their shells.
Generously spoon the hot truffle sauce over them.
Place under the oven grill for about 3 minutes, just enough to warm them through and lightly gratinate the surface without overcooking.

Chef Plantin’s tip(s)
Do not overcook the oysters: excessive cooking will make them firm.
----
For extra intensity, add a drop of truffle oil just before serving.
----
Serve with a dry, mineral white wine such as Chablis or Sancerre for a perfect pairing.
