Lay enough rock salt on a baking tray to be able to wedge the oyster shells in.
Roll the pastry out thinly and cut into rounds that just fit over each oyster shell.
Place a teaspoon of the mascarpone mixture on top of each oyster.
Whisk the egg and brush around the rim of each shell, lightly press on the pastry and brush with egg.
