Oyster Rockefeller Recipe

Oyster Rockefeller Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oysters

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Carefully shuck the oysters, placing the meat in a bowl while discarding the shells. Keep the shells for baking later.

2. 2

   Make the Butter Mixture

   In a skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Spinach and Seasoning

   Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Add parsley, Pernod, salt, and black pepper, mixing well. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Combine with Oysters

   Add the shucked oysters to the skillet and gently mix to combine with the spinach mixture.

5. 5

   Prepare for Baking

   In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Spoon the oyster mixture into the reserved shells, then top each with the breadcrumb mixture.

6. 6

   Bake the Oysters

   Place the filled oyster shells on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
