Baked Oysters with Lemon, Parsley, and Crispy Breadcrumbs
Report
These baked oysters with crispy lemon and parsley breadcrumbs are a delicious appetizer that will please both oyster fanatics and skeptics alike. If you’re buying pre-shucked oysters on the half-shell, be sure to confirm they were shucked that day.

Ingredients
- 12 oysters on the half-shell (or 12 shucked oysters)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Make the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon juice and zest, chili flakes, and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt, mix to combine well, and set aside.
- Prepare the oysters. Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil and scrunch to make “homes” for the oyster shells. Set on the foil so they’re securely upright with no liquids leaking out.
- Fill the oysters. Spoon one teaspoon of the filling in each oyster, then add about ½ teaspoon of olive oil over top each oyster.
- Broil the oyster. Place the tray onto the shelf 6 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler on. Keep the oven door slightly open to prevent smoke build-up and keep a close eye on the oysters as they broil. Cook until they’re golden and bubbly, 6-8 minutes.
- Serve. Use gloves or tongs to carefully place the oysters on an oyster plate or serving platter with rock salt so that their juices do not spill. Use a small fork to gently loosen the oyster meat and serve with some lemon wedges. Serve as soon as they’re cool enough to eat, 1-2 minutes later.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the oysters as they can burn quickly and start to pop and explode. If this happens, lower the temperature.
If you’re shucking the oysters yourself, be very careful. Always use an oyster shucker and glove if you can. Keep the shucker pointed toward the ground, not your hand, and use a towel to prevent slipping.
