Description
These oysters au gratin with béchamel and crab are a festive and refined starter, perfect for the holiday season. I have been preparing this recipe for years and it always makes a splash with my guests. The creamy béchamel, the tasty crab and the gratiné gruyere go wonderfully with the freshness of the oysters. It is a relatively quick dish to prepare, ideal for impressing your guests without spending hours in the kitchen. Feel free to use fresh crab for an even more intense taste. A real delight!
