How to Make Baked Parmesan Oysters

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup crushed crackers (saltines or Ritz recommended) and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Dip each oyster into the garlic oil mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Dredge the oiled oysters in the cracker-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Arrange the coated oysters in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional) over the oysters.
  8. Sprinkle any remaining cracker mixture evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the oysters are golden brown and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
