Roasted Oysters Ingredients

Method

Roasted Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Clean the oysters thoroughly under cold water and set aside. Finely chop the jalapeño and bacon.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat, crumble, and set aside, reserving some bacon fat in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Jalapeño

    In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the chopped jalapeño and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

  4. 4

    Mix the Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed jalapeño, crumbled bacon, bourbon, Parmesan cheese, crushed Ritz crackers, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters on a baking sheet. Spoon the topping mixture generously over each oyster.

  6. 6

    Roast the Oysters

    Roast the oysters in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbling.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve warm and enjoy!
