Fresh oysters in a Champagne sauce with a healthy dose of coarse ground pepper (mignonette) are a very French way to begin a holiday meal. Lucky us, oysters are in season in December. So whether you live in Normandy or in New Orleans (where oystermen are still very much in business), it's the perfect time for a meal on the half shell, starting with this recipe.
