Hangtown Fry

Ingredients

Butter

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Milk

2 tablespoons

Eggs

4 large

Fresh oysters

1 cup, shucked

Bacon

4 slices

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2. In the same skillet, using the rendered bacon fat, carefully add the shucked oysters. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned. Remove the oysters from the skillet and set them aside.
3. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy.
4. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and let it cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
5. Carefully arrange the crispy bacon and cooked oysters on one half of the omelette. Gently fold the other half over the filling and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the inside is cooked to your liking.
6. Slide the Hangtown Fry onto a plate and serve hot. Pair with toast or fried potatoes for a complete breakfast experience.
