Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup bread crumbs, Panko preferred
2 shallots, chopped
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup Pernod
Salt and pepper, to taste
Dash red pepper sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped chervil or parsley
2 dozen oysters, on the half shell
Rock salt
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Directions

Melt butter in a skillet. Saute the garlic for 2 minutes to infuse the butter. Place the bread crumbs in a mixing bowl and add half the garlic butter, set aside. To the remaining garlic butter in the skillet, add shallots and spinach, cook for 3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Deglaze the pan with Pernod. Season with salt and pepper, add a dash of red pepper sauce. Allow the mixture to cook down for a few minutes. Finish off the bread crumbs by mixing in olive oil, Parmesan and chervil, season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the spinach mixture on each oyster followed by a spoonful of the bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle a baking pan amply with rock salt. Arrange the oysters in the salt to steady them. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes until golden. Serve with lemon wedges and red pepper sauce.

Sure to be a hit at any party!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this for my party and we couldn't make them fast enough. People couldn't get enough of them. We ended making 8... dozen all together, and it wasn't enough cause I only got to eat one at the whole party. I will make sure to have these again at the next party!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Served this as an appetizer for our gourmet group dinner, and all the "foodies" raved!! I doubled the recipe for spinach... mixture and crumb mixture. I also added about 1 1/2C chopped watercress to the spinach for a little bite. These were awesome served with a good champagne. Looking forward to serving them again!!Read more

Thought I failed..... but it turned out FANTASTIC!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for my fiance some years ago for Valentines Day. I had never in my life made Oysters Rockefeller. I had to... go to a specialty store just to get them, and that was a 25-minute drive by its self! So I got down to biz after I finally got home. I made all the recipe items as listed then panicked when I was missing an ingredient. I cannot for the life of me remember what I replaced the missing ingredient with but I though it was going to taste horrid. It certainly did not smell very good. I crossed my fingers and tossed it in the oven. Everything looked "okay". I tossed it together on the table in a fairly nice looking way (mind you bachlorette pad with little space and no real fancy dishes). My fiance showed early (yes again panic). Well, I joined him at the table and stared at him cringing when he went to take the first bite. He set down the shell and looks at me rather upset. I was about to cry! He goes " I hate to tell you this but this is awesome! I love it!" How evil is that! Hah! I would highly recommend this recipe. It was easy to follow and tasted great! (even to me, and I am not that keen on oysters!)Read more
