Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh oysters (in shells, scrubbed clean)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping the meat in the deeper shell and discarding the top shell.

Step 3

Arrange the shucked oysters on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they sit level to avoid any juices spilling out.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 5

To the skillet, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the topping is well combined.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the breadcrumb mixture onto each oyster, spreading it out to cover the oyster meat evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden and crisp.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with additional lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
