Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl combine the spinach, onion, Parmesan, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white wine and melted butter. Shuck oysters and leave them on the half shell. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the spinach mixture and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top then with a slice of tomato and cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts.

Transfer the oysters to a serving platter and serve with a wedge of lemon and a good hot sauce. Enjoy!

Cook's Note: The hardest part of this recipe is to find fresh oysters and shuck them.
