Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 French Bread, 12" Long
1/3 c Melted Butter
1 pt Shucked Oysters, Drained
Tabasco Sauce
Hot Heavy Cream (Optional)

Preheat oven to 425 øF. Cut off the top of the bread lengthwise,
scoop out most of the bread of the bottom half, leaving a shell about
3/4" thick. Brush the inside of the bottom and the cut side of the
top with melted butter. Put the loaf and "lid," cut sides up, on an
ungreased baking sheet, bake until toasted golden brown, about 20
minutes (the lid will be done first; check that it does not
overcook). Meanwhile, saut? the oysters in hot butter until plump.
Add salt, pepper, a dash of Tabasco, and, if desired, a little hot
cream. Fill the loaf with the hot fried oysters and put the lid on
top. Heat for 10 minutes or until ready to serve. Cut in thick slices
if the loaf is long. NOTE: Individual rolls can also be used: allow
about 3 oysters for each one. The amount of oysters required for this
recipe varies according to the size of the oysters and the size of
the loaf of bread. In any case, the bread "basket" should be filled
to the top with oysters.
