Caesar-Style Baked Oysters Recipe

Directions

Prepare the breadcrumb topping

1. In a medium bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to combine. Set aside.

Make the spinach filling

1. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, grated Parmesan, minced anchovy, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and lemon juice.

2. Mix until well combined, creating a thick, creamy mixture.

Assemble the oysters

1. Preheat your broiler to high and arrange the oysters on a baking sheet lined with a layer of rock salt or crumpled foil to keep them steady.

2. Spoon a small amount of the spinach mixture onto each oyster, spreading it evenly over the surface.
3. Top each oyster with a generous sprinkle of the Caesar breadcrumb topping.

Broil the oysters

1. Broil the oysters for 3-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly, and the oysters are just cooked through.

Serve

1. Transfer the oysters to a platter and garnish with fresh parsley and extra shaved Parmesan, if desired.

2. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
