Oyster Rockefeller Ingredients

Method

Oyster Rockefeller Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the oysters

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet, keeping them in their shells.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and crumble it. Reserve some bacon fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté spinach and garlic

    Add minced garlic to the reserved bacon fat and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Combine the filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach and garlic, crumbled bacon, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  5. 5

    Top the oysters

    Spoon the filling generously over each oyster in its shell.

  6. 6

    Bake the oysters

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Oyster Rockefeller!
