How to Make Oysters Rockefeller

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Prepare the spinach mixture: In a food processor, combine 1 cup (10 oz) fresh spinach, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 4 slices cooked bacon (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup butter, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed (about 10 seconds).
  3. Shuck 12 fresh oysters carefully, reserving the liquor. Gently rinse the oysters and place them in their half shells on a baking sheet lined with rock salt.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach mixture onto each oyster. Drizzle a teaspoon of the reserved oyster liquor over each oyster.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the topping is bubbly.
  6. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the topping slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately and garnish with a lemon wedge, if desired.
