Ingredients

- 1 1/2 Tbls tapioca flour
- 1 cup (250mls) of almond milk and a pinch of salt, warmed up on a low heat in another saucepan

- pepper
- 1/4 cup of cashew cheese (recipe link above in recipe description)
- Additional 1/2 Tbls ghee.
- 12 oysters
Instructions
- Heat ghee on low in a saucepan.
- Add the tapioca flour and whisk to combine, heating for 1 minute until you get a frothy white cream. Do not cook for too long. If you need more ghee add it at this stage.
- Take the saucepan off the heat, and add the hot almond milk and whisk until flour is dissolved and is not clumpy. The almond milk should grow in volume.
- Return the pan to the low heat and continue stirring until sauce is thick and simmering
- Add the cashew cheese and stir until it is all combined, it should be really thick and creamy.
- Season with sea salt and pepper and add the 1/2 Tbls of ghee and stir through.
- Preheat the grill in the oven at 180 degrees (356F)
- Place the oysters (in their shell) in a muffin tin to keep them steady while you top the mornay sauce on top.
- The sauce should then be taste tested and then using a tablespoon top each oyster with the mornay sauce generously.
- Place the oysters (in the muffin tray) under the grill and please keep an eye on it.
- Remove the tray when the topping is starting to bubble and brown a little 5 mins or so.
- Serve once warm so as not to burn your tongue.
- Optional season with sea salt and pepper.
