Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Set an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Step 2
Whisk eggs together in a bowl; whisk in 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, cream, basil, oregano, black pepper, and hot sauce.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter; melt and swirl to evenly coat the skillet. Add oysters; brown, about 1 minute per side. Reduce liquid a bit, about 30 seconds more.
Step 4
Slowly pour egg mixture over oysters, keeping oysters evenly distributed in the skillet; cook for 30 seconds. Shake skillet slightly, do not stir. Cook until bottom and sides of eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes; sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Place skillet under the preheated broiler.
Step 5
Broil until eggs begin to puff around edges and top is nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from broiler; sprinkle with parsley. Cut into wedges; serve immediately.
