Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters (in shells, scrubbed clean)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping the meat in the deeper shell and discarding the top shell.
Arrange the shucked oysters on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they sit level to avoid any juices spilling out.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
To the skillet, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the topping is well combined.
Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the breadcrumb mixture onto each oyster, spreading it out to cover the oyster meat evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with additional lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
