Ingredients

  • 12 fresh oysters 

  • 5 ounces cream cheese 

  • softened 2/3 cup shredded white cheddar 

  • 1/3 cup cooked crumbled bacon (or bacon bits)

  • 1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed 

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  •  1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set the oysters in their shells on the baking sheet. 

  2. Squeeze the spinach to remove all excess liquid. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, white cheddar, bacon, chopped spinach, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Mix well.

  3.  Spoon a dollop of cheese filling over the top of each oyster. Sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese.

  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is golden. Serve warm.
