Make Baked Oysters







Bake your oysters to create a unique dish to share.


Oysters are a type of seafood that can be eaten raw when fresh or cooked in various different ways. The way an oyster tastes depends upon the area in which it was harvested. Oysters contain healthy amounts of protein, carbohydrates and lipids, and can be eaten as a part of a low-cholesterol diet. Baking oysters is an effective way to serve a unique seafood dish to family and friends.


Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to broil at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.


2. Shuck your oysters from the shells. Scrub the shells until they are cleared of residual oyster.








3. Brush the insides of each shell with half of the metled butter using a marinating brush.


4. Place a layer of cooked and drained spinach leaves onto each shell.


5. Take the oysters and dip each into a bowl containing the Worcestershire sauce. Make sure to cover each oyster completely with the sauce.


6. Place two marinated oysters onto one shell and lightly sprinkle the meat with the remaining melted butter and the grated Gruyere cheese.


7. Place the shells containing the oysters onto a large cookie sheet and broil them until the edges of the oyster meat curl upwards.


8. Remove the oysters from the pan and serve them while they are hot. Each serving is approximately six oysters.
