Place the shaved pancetta evenly on top of the butter and oysters.
Place the pan into a preheated 350°F oven and bake until oysters
are firm. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish.

Whip the butter until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Keep refrigerated
and allow to soften to room temperature before using.

using parchment paper, and stored in the freezer for 3 months.
