List of Ingredients



• 1 pint oysters (about 24)
  
• 1 Tbsp butter
  
• 1-1/2 cups bread crumbs
  
• 3 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley
  
• 1/4 cup (2 ounces) good-quality olive oil

• 1/4 cup grated grana padano or reggiano cheese

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Pour oysters into a bowl and check for bits of shell.
   
   
2. Butter the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch pie pan and place oysters in pan. Mix the bread crumbs with all remaining ingredients and distribute evenly over the oysters, patting a little.
   
   
3. Place pan in the hot oven and bake for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until crumbs are brown and bubbling. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve with croutons or French bread rounds.
