Oysters Florentine Ingredients

Method

Oysters Florentine Directions

1

Prepare the Oysters

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water and shuck them, placing them on a baking sheet. Discard any broken shells.

2

Sauté the Spinach

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

3

Create the Cream Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

4

Top the Oysters

Spoon the spinach and cream mixture evenly over each oyster on the baking sheet. Top with breadcrumbs for added crunch.

5

Bake the Oysters

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oysters are cooked through.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
