Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Slice the tops off the rolls and scoop out most of the bread inside, leaving a thick wall of bread in place. Crumble the scooped-out bread into large crumbs and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crumbs are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.


Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add oysters and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in reserved bread crumbs, cream, and salt and pepper. Cook another minute or two until oysters are cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding lemon juice, if desired.


Spoon the oysters and their sauce into the rolls. Arrange the bread on top and serve immediately.
