* Note: See the “Bayou Blast - {Emeril’s Creole Seasoning}” recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. For braised leeks: Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Add the shallots, garlic, and leeks and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the white wine and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or until the leeks are tender. Season with salt and pepper. For the Hollandaise: Fill the bottom of a double-boiler with water, and bring it almost to a boil, lower the heat so the water is hot but not boiling. Mix the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel mixing bowl, place over the water bath and whisk until the yolks are at a ribbon stage. Combine the butter and the reserved tasso fat together and gradually whisk into the egg mixture in a steady stream. Season with the salt and pepper and continue whisking until thick. For the oysters, combine the breadcrumbs and Bayou Blast ~ {Emeril’s Creole Seasoning} together in a mixing bowl, in small amounts completely coat each oyster with this mixture. Place each oyster back in its shell with a small amount of the leek mixture underneath. Broil until golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Place all the oysters on a platter and drizzle the Tasso Hollandaise over the entire platter. This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.
