Oyster Rockefeller Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Oysters

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell and keeping the oyster meat in the bottom shell. Place the oysters on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Cook the Shallots and Spinach

   In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Artichokes

   Chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces and add them to the skillet with the spinach and shallots. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and lemon juice, mixing well.

4. 4

   Make the Topping

   In a bowl, combine the breadcrumb, remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly over the oysters in their shells. Top each oyster with the breadcrumb mixture and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

6. 6

   Bake the Oysters

   Bake the assembled oysters in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the oysters are cooked through.
