Oysters and Topping

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Spinach

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

  3. 3

    Make the Crab Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crab meat, cream cheese, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  4. 4

    Top the Oysters

    Spoon the spinach and crab mixture generously over each oyster in its shell.

  5. 5

    Bake the Oysters

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your spinach and crab topped oysters!
