Ingredients

  • 1 dozen oyster (on the half shell, freshly shucked)
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 14 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 14 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to high, about 400-450.
  • Over medium heat cook chopped bacon and garlic until lightly done (not crispy).
  • Remove pan from heat, drain off most of the fat and stir in breadcrumbs, parsley and seasoning.
  • Place oysters on a rack over a cookie sheet (this will keep them steady, or you can crumple tin foil on a sheet and "settle" the oyster shells into it) ensuring that they are as flat as possible.
  • With a fork, add cheese to crumb mix.
  • Sprinkle crumb mix over oysters (resist the urge to pat it down), and continue sprinkling until all oysters are covered lightly.
  • Depending on the size of your oysters you may have some crumb mix left over.
  • Discard.
  • Bake for 12-18 minutes, until golden.
  • Serve piping hot.
