List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 ½ cups Italian bread crumbs
â—¦ 6 tablespoons butter, melted
â—¦ 2 cups heavy whipping cream
â—¦ 1 teaspoon hot sauce
â—¦ 1 clove garlic, minced
â—¦ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
â—¦ 24 fresh oysters, shucked, drained, and rinsed
â—¦ Garnish: lemon slices, fresh parsley


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and melted butter. Place eight 3-inch ramekins on a baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons bread crumb mixture to each ramekin and gently press with fingers.

In a small bowl, combine cream, hot sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place three oysters into each ramekin. Pour ¼ cup of cream mixture over oysters in each ramekin. Sprinkle remaining bread crumb mixture evenly on top; bake until bread crumbs are lightly browned and filling is bubbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with lemon and parsley, if desired.
