Hangtown Fry with Parmesan and Fresh Herbs
My recipe variation on Hangtown Fry contains Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. It is finished under the broiler, where the egg-oyster mixture puffs up like a cross between a frittata and a soufflé. I get the best results using a cast-iron skillet. It's important that the oven be hot before you place the skillet under the broiler.
