For best results, use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. Ensure your oven is thoroughly preheated before broiling. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also be added for extra heat. Serve immediately for the best texture. This dish is delicious on its own or accompanied by a simple green salad.

01
Step

Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler.
02
Step
0 mins
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, basil, oregano, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce.
03
Step
4 mins
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter, melt, and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Add oysters and brown for about 1 minute per side, reducing the liquid slightly for approximately 30 seconds more.
04
Step
4 mins
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the oysters, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cook for 30 seconds without stirring, gently shaking the skillet. Continue cooking until the bottom and sides of the eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
05
Step
7 mins
Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler. Cook until the eggs begin to puff around the edges and the top is nicely browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
