Method

Chop spinach well and set aside.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 4 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly.

Stir in tarragon, salt, pepper, nutmeg and spinach and cook for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and let cool.

Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated

Preheat the broiler.

Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with dried beans or rock salt.

Carefully nestle rounded side of oyster shells in beans and place 1 oyster into each.

If you have oyster liquor (juices) left over, let any grit settle to bottom and spoon liquor into spinach sauce.

Stir sauce and spoon a generous 1 tablespoon onto each oyster.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Broil until tops are browned and sauce is heated through, about 4 minutes. Serve warm.

*Steamed from about 1 pound fresh, or a little less than a 16-ounce bag frozen chopped spinach cooked according to package directions.
