Rockefeller Salad


3 eggs
1 10 oz package of Mr. Pete’s Seasoned Cajun Oyster Fry
20 oysters, shucked
1 pound baby spinach
1/2 pound mixed greens
8 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled

For Vinaigrette
2 egg yokes
1/4 cup blue cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon chives, chopped
1 teaspoon parsley, chopped
black pepper, to taste

Separate two of the egg yokes from the whites.

In a food processor or steel bowl and whisk, beat the egg yokes, 1/4 cup of the blue cheese and Dijon. Slowly emulsify the oil into the egg mixture. When it begins to look creamy, add the lemon juice, vinegar, buttermilk, pepper, and herbs. Set aside.

Whip the egg whites in a bowl. Dip the oysters in the egg whites, then into the seasoned flour mixture.

Deep fry in oil at 375ºF for about 1-2 minutes or until crispy.

Toss the mixed greens and spinach with the vinaigrette. Top with the fried oysters, bacon, and Parmesan cheese.
