1 pint oysters, drained
6 cups vegetable oil
4 corn tortillas
9 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped green onion (white and green tops)
1 tablespoon minced red chile peppers
2 cups Pico de Gallo, click here for recipe
1/2 cup sour cream Directions:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Season
the masa harina with the Essence and cumin in a shallow bowl and dredge
the oysters in the mixture a few at a time to coat evenly, shake off
the excess over the bowl.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy
saucepan to 360 degrees F. Carefully add the oysters to the oil and
fry, without crowding them and turning occasionally, until golden and
cooked through. Should take about 2 minutes.
Remove the oysters with a long-handled spoon and drain on paper towels.
Place
the corn tortillas on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with water until
they are moist, but not soggy. Warm in the preheated oven for 3
minutes.
Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with the salt, and set aside.
Heat
the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the
green onions and chili pepper to the pan and cook over medium-high heat
for 1 minute. Add the eggs to the pan and scramble to desired consistency, stirring constantly to keep from scorching the eggs.
Place
1 warm tortilla on each serving plate. Divide the scrambled eggs and
oysters among the plates, then top each portion with 1/4-cup of the
Pico de Gallo and 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
Put the remaining Pico de Gallo in a serving bowl on the table and serve the Eggs immediately.
