Crispy Texas Oyster Slider Ingredients

Method

Crispy Texas Oyster Slider Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the oysters and place them on a plate. Make sure to remove any shell fragments.

  2. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In one bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the buttermilk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Oysters

    Dip each oyster first in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture to ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Oysters

    Carefully place the breaded oysters into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Sliders

    Slice the slider buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of romaine lettuce, a slice of tomato, a fried oyster, and a drizzle of horseradish sauce.

  7. 7

    Add Shoestring Potatoes

    Top the fried oyster with a handful of shoestring potatoes for extra crunch before placing the top half of the bun over it.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the crispy Texas oyster sliders immediately while hot, with extra horseradish sauce on the side if desired.
