Oysters and Topping

Method

Preparation and Baking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet. Discard the top shell.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until soft. Stir in the spinach, parsley, thyme, Pernod, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Topping Ingredients

    Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the breadcrumbs and half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined.

  4. 4

    Top the Oysters

    Spoon the topping mixture generously over each oyster, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Oysters Rockefeller warm!
