Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh oysters
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Scrub and rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Carefully open the oysters with an oyster knife, then arrange the oyster halves on a baking sheet.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh parsley.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each oyster.
In a separate bowl, mix the grated parmesan cheese with the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Top each oyster with the parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of each oyster to help with browning.
Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and bubbling.
Once cooked, remove the oysters from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
Transfer the oysters to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the oysters.
