      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      3 tb Olive oil
    1/2 lb Finely ground spicy Italian
           Sausage
    1/2 c  Minced onions
      1 tb Chopped garlic
  1 1/2 c  Fine dried bread crumbs
      1 tb Finely chopped parsley
    1/2 c  Finely grated

      1    Dozen large oysters,
           Preferably Louisiana
           Salt and pepper
 
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  
  In a large saute pan heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is
  hot, add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally for about 4 to 6
  minutes. Add the onions and continue to cook for two minutes. Add the
  garlic, and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  
  Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool. Stir in
  the remaining olive oil, bread crumbs, parsley and cheese and mix
  well. Season the oysters with salt and pepper. Grease a 9-inch gratin
  dish or pie pan. Line the bottom with the oysters. Cover the oysters
  with the sausage mixture, packing it down onto the oysters. Place in
  the oven and bake for 8 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  Remove from oven and serve warm.
