Hangtown Fry-Ttata



Ingredients:
1 pint shucked oysters, preferably "select" size
1 1/2 loving cup cornmeal
iii tablespoons flour
1/2 loving cup chopped scallions
four slices thick-cut bacon, cooked in addition to crumbled
1/4 loving cup milk
10 eggs
freshly soil dark pepper
olive oil



Directions:


Preheat oven to 350. Heat 1-inch canola fossil oil inward a heavy skillet.

In a small, shallow bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, in addition to pepper. Dredge each oyster inward the cornmeal mixture in addition to fry, turning i time until golden. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Meanwhile, rhythm out together the eggs, milk, salt, in addition to pepper until fluffy.  Stir inward the scallion in addition to bacon. Oil an 8x8-inch baking dish.  Arrange the oysters inward a unmarried layer inward the bottom of the dish.

Pour the egg mixture into the dish in addition to bake for xl minutes or until fully laid inward the middle. Allow to cool v minutes. Slice into nine squares in addition to serve.



My thoughts:
It is prime number oyster flavor hither in addition to I've been scoring pints of local oysters for nether $10. The Hangtown child is i of those weird dishes that had to guide maintain been invented yesteryear an American. Who else would intend of adding fried oysters to scrambled eggs? There are a lot of variations in addition to stories nearly the Hangtown child but basically, it was an expensive breakfast that originated alongside miners during the California Gold Rush. Think: oysters were plentiful but non upwards inward the mountains. It is alone relatively latterly that oysters tin last safely purchased twelvemonth circular in addition to then intend nearly having to make them cool in addition to last inward the 1880s in addition to hauling them upwards a mountain! Only a successful prospector would intend of such a meal! Other expensive ingredients would guide maintain been bacon in addition to eggs in addition to then why non throw them all together inward a form of liberate omelette?

 It is a picayune task intensive to brand a Hangtown fry in addition to it is tricky to instruct inward for a crowd in addition to guide maintain it railroad train for everyone to swallow straightaway in addition to then I idea turning it into a frittata was a clever move. It actually alone took nearly twenty minutes of prep time--I fried the bacon in addition to the oysters at the same fourth dimension in addition to since it is a one-step breading process, I simply dredged in addition to dropped them inward the hot fossil oil i afterwards another. Oysters alone guide maintain nearly v minutes to fry, fifty-fifty if they are big "select" size oysters. I was worried nearly the texture but the oysters held upwards perfectly in addition to the breading was withal pretty crisp in addition to provided that "fried" gustation that is actually needed to brand this a Hangtown Fry-ttata vs a generic oyster frittata. It helps to piece of occupation practiced bacon too, I similar True Story bacon for dishes similar this because it is thick in addition to has a practiced porky, smoky flavor in addition to isn't likewise salty but whatsoever thick cutting bacon would work.
