ingredients:
3 to 4 lbs Fresh Oysters
For the compound butter
8 tbsp
2 tbsp bacon, cooked and minced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp Parsley, minced
1 tsp Cilantro, minced
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Lemon wedges
1 tbsp dry white wine
PREPARATION:
Start a fire in your pizza oven by stacking 3 pieces of Cowboy Pit-Style Cookin’ Wood
Allow the wood to burn for 1 hour, letting the pizza oven come to 800F to heat the whole oven.
When ready to cook, arrange a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
Scrub the outside of the oyster shells
Arrange oysters on the wire rack and place in the pizza oven for 4-5 minutes, just until they start to open. You will hear the liquid sizzling as it escapes the shell.
Open each shell and carefully, using an oyster knife, scrape the oyster from the shell so it can slide out easily.
Return the open shells, with oysters and liquid inside to the baking sheet, trying to prevent and spilling.
Top each with 1 teaspoon of the softened compound butter.
Then pile a heaping pinch of parmesan cheese over each.
Return to the pizza oven until the butter melts and the cheese is toasted.
Allow the oysters to sit 2 to 5 minutes before serving with fresh lemon and a pinch of dry white wine and minced parsley for garnish.
