Baked Oysters with Pimento Cheese Recipe
Baked Oysters with Pimento Cheese
Serves 6
We love these easy baked oysters! Ask our fishmongers to shuck the oysters for you, keeping the bottom shell. Or, put whole oysters in a hot oven for a minute just until they open, then carefully remove the top shell. (Use care: shells may be hot.) Find the pimento cheese in our Prepared Foods Department.
Ingredients:
- 1 dozen medium fresh oysters
- 1/2 cup Metropolitan Market Pimento Cheese
- Lemon wedges, optional
- Optional:
- Coarse salt or uncooked rice (to help level the oysters while baking)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Shuck oysters, leaving oysters in bottom shell and discarding tops.
- To keep oysters from tipping while baking, sprinkle a layer of coarse salt or rice on a rimmed baking sheet. Place oysters on salt or rice, if using, or directly on the baking sheet.
- Spoon 1/2 tablespoon pimento cheese on each oyster.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until oysters are cooked and cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
- Serve warm, with a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
