Prepare Oysters

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a brush if necessary.

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, being cautious of sharp edges. Keep the oyster meat in the lower shell.

Prepare Cheese Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and chopped chives. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Assemble and Grill

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Fill the Oysters

    Spoon the cheese mixture generously onto each shucked oyster, covering the oyster meat completely.

  3. 6

    Add Butter and Paprika

    Melt the butter and drizzle it over the filled oysters. Sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor.

  4. 7

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the filled oysters on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
