Oysters Rockefeller
Baked Oysters on the half shell that are topped with a creamy, spinach, garlicky parmesan sauce and crispy breadcrumbs!
Ingredients
24 medium Oysters, Shucked
1 medium Shallot, Fine Dice
3 clove Garlic, Minced
1 cups Heavy Cream
1/2 cups Parmesan
1/2 small Lemon, Juiced
1 drizzle Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsps Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
3 pinch Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
1 cups Spinach, Roughly Chopped
1/2 medium Stale Baguette
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 F.
FOR THE BREADCRUMBS: Chop stale baguette into large chunks and blitz in your food processor until they become fine bread crumbs. Saute in a little bit of olive oil and butter until golden brown then set aside.
OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER: Heat a pan over medium heat, add a generous glug of olive oil and a small pat of butter, then sweat down your shallots and garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add in heavy cream and continually stir until heavy cream is heated through, about 1 minute. Add chopped spinach and cook until it wilts down, about 3 minutes.
Season to taste with salt, black pepper, lemon juice and a drizzle of red wine vinegar.
Pour mixture into a dish and pop in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool down.
Once it’s cooled down, spoon mixture on top of shucked oysters then top with a final sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Pop it into the oven on your top rack at 400 F for 6 min or until it begins to lightly brown.
Garnish with crispy, crunchy breadcrumbs.
