Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add fresh spinach, cooking until wilted. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Chop the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet along with half of the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Carefully shuck the oysters, placing them on a grilling tray or directly on the grill rack. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach mixture onto each oyster.

  4. 4

    Add Topping

    In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, remaining Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over each topped oyster.

  5. 5

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the oysters on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 5-7 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the oysters are cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
