Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Saltine crackers
- 12 pieces Smoked oysters (canned, drained)
- 4 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese (sliced into small squares)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place one smoked oyster on each cracker.
Top each smoked oyster with a small square of sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring it covers the oyster well.
Slide the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Optional: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle each cracker with a small pinch of chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Optional: Add a tiny drop of hot sauce to each cracker if you prefer a spicy kick.
Serve immediately while warm and melty. Enjoy!
