Ingredients:  
36 Shucked fresh oysters + juice from oysters
1 c butter
1/2 c four
Fish stock or clam juice ( amount will vary; see directions)
5 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 t. cayenne pepper

Directions:
Directions:
Strain oysters to remove grit. Add enough fish stock or bottled clam juice to the oyster liquor to total 4 pints (2 quarts) of liquid. Set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot, make a white roux by reducing the heat to low and slowly adding the flour using a whisk. Stir & cook until the butter & flour are incorporated - about 3 min.
Add the two quarts of oyster liquor and stock and cook another 3 - 4 minutes until the flour is absorbed. Increase the heat to med and bring just to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the cream and simmer 15 minutes more, stirring constantly. Add the cayenne and Brie. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the wine, oysters and green onions. Add salt to taste. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve with French Bread.

We had an "oyster" dinner party with all guests invited to bring their favorite oyster dish. This was the hit of the party!
