Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter and bread crumb the ramekins. In a mixing bowl, fold the beaten egg whites into the oyster dressing. Pour the mixture into a 24-ounce ramekin. Bake the souffle for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the souffle rises to about 2 inches above the rim of the ramekin. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, render the tasso. Cook for 1 minute. Add the shallots, garlic, and tomatoes. Saute for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the veal reduction. Bring the liquid up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Stir in the oysters and green onions. Cook the sauce until the oysters start to curl, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Check the seasoning. Place the souffle in the center of an oversized platter. Spoon the ragu around the souffle. Garnish with fried spinach and Essence.

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables are wilted. Season with Essence. Stir in the oysters and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Fold in the bread cubes and incorporate thoroughly. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the green onions and cheese. Pour the dressing into the prepared pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered. Remove the dressing and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
