This creative hollandaise sauce adds richness to the saltwater tang of oysters.

Oysters
6 Village Bay oysters, shucked
1 green onion, finely sliced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce

Half Pints Stir Stick Stout
Egg Foam
6 egg yolks
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 shots Tabasco sauce
5 Tbsp Half Pints Stir Stick Stout
1/2 lb unsalted butter
salt to taste

Method

1. In a small pot, bring water to boil.
2. In another pot, melt butter.
3. In a stainless steel bowl, add egg yolks, Worcestershire, Tabasco and beer. Whisk together.
4. Once blended, place stainless steel bowl on top of boiling water. Whisk mixture until thick and fluffy. Continue mixing to prevent eggs from scrambling.
