List of Ingredients



• Rock salt
  
• 1 dozen raw oysters on the half shell, drained; liquor reserved
  
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  
• 2 Tbsp chopped onion
  
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Fill the bottom of a baking dish with approximately 1 inch of rock salt. Place oysters in baking dish, using rock salt to steady shells.
   
   
2. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine bacon, garlic, and onion. Process just until minced, approximately 30 seconds. If mixture seems too dry, add a little reserved oyster liquor. Top each oyster with 1 heaping tablespoon bacon mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese.
   
   
3. Bake until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
