    Oysters Rockefeller Ingredients

    • 12 North Coast Seafoods Wellfleet Oysters, shucked
    • 4 Tbsp butter
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
    • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
    • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
    • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
    • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Rock salt (for stabilizing oysters on baking sheet)
    • Lemon wedges, for serving

    Instructions

    How to Make Oysters Rockefeller: Instructions

    1. Prepare the Baking Sheet - Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with a layer of rock salt to help stabilize the oysters and keep them upright.
    2. Make the Savory Topping - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach, parsley, and green onions. Cook until the greens are softened, about 2–3 minutes.
    3. Add Breadcrumbs & Seasonings - Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon juice, crushed red pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until the topping resembles moist, buttery crumbs.
    4. Assemble the Oysters - Place shucked Wellfleet Oysters on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the topping onto each oyster.
    5. Bake to Perfection - Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the oysters are heated through. The edges should sizzle slightly.
    6. Serve - Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately while hot and bubbling.
