Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces freshly shucked oysters
- 2 tablespoons low-fat margarine
- 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil; this will help with easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them with the low-fat margarine, until well combined.
Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt to the butter mixture. Stir everything thoroughly to form a smooth, consistent paste.
Arrange the shucked oysters on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are sitting level to prevent the mixture from spilling over.
Spread a small spoonful of the garlic Parmesan butter mixture over each oyster, ensuring even coverage on all oysters.
Sprinkle a light dusting of panko breadcrumbs over the top of each oyster for a wonderful, crunchy topping.
Place the baking sheet with oysters in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the panko breadcrumbs are golden brown and the oysters are just set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
Serve immediately for freshest flavor and enjoy your low-fat baked oysters!
