Pour in the white wine sauce and reduce until creamy. Let cool a little and refine with champagne. Lightly fold in the whipped cream and hollandaise sauce. No more cooking. Carefully season with salt and cayenne pepper.
3. Cover the oysters with the sauce in a casserole dish and bake them golden yellow for 10-20 minutes at top heat of approx. 180 ° C.
