What each ingredient does

Oysters
Provide the savoury filling that gives the patties their main flavour.
Pastry (in the method)
Forms the shell that holds the filling and browns in the oven.

The step that matters

Bake until golden brown. Baking dries the pastry surface and triggers browning through the Maillard reaction, which gives flavour and a crisp shell. Underbaked pastry stays pale and soft, while overbaking can dry out or burn the filling edges.
