The practice of gratinating dishes has ancient roots, with early forms of baking with cheese and breadcrumbs dating back to Roman times. Oysters, a delicacy enjoyed for centuries, likely saw the combination with gratinating techniques in French cuisine, evolving alongside the development of rich sauces and baked preparations during the Renaissance and later culinary movements.

Ostras Gratinadas offer a rich and savory flavor profile, combining the natural briny taste of oysters with creamy, cheesy, and herbaceous elements.
The dominant flavor is the fresh, salty taste of the oyster itself. This is complemented by the richness of the cheese, typically Gruyère, Parmesan, or a similar hard cheese. Butter and cream contribute further to the richness and texture. Herbs like parsley, thyme, or chives add aromatic and fresh notes. Garlic introduces a subtle pungency, while a squeeze of lemon juice provides a bright, acidic counterpoint to balance the richness.

Oyster Selection
Always choose the freshest oysters possible. They should have a tightly closed shell and a briny smell. Discard any that are open or have a foul odor.
Gratin Topping Consistency
The gratin topping should be thick enough to hold its shape but not too dry. Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs or cheese to achieve the desired consistency.
Baking Time
Be careful not to overbake the oysters, as this can make them tough. Bake until the topping is golden brown and bubbly, and the oysters are heated through but still plump.
Serving Immediately
Ostras Gratinadas are best served immediately after baking, while the topping is still hot and crispy.
