Description
Enjoy a gourmet twist on oysters with this recipe featuring baked oysters topped with a luscious chive butter and creamy aïoli, perfect for a sophisticated appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oysters, shucked
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons aïoli
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped chives and simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet or pan, ensuring they are stable and won’t tip over.
- Spoon a small amount of the chive butter into each oyster shell, followed by a dollop of aïoli.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the aïoli is slightly golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately, either on their own or with a side of crusty bread.
Notes
For a raw version, skip the baking and serve the oysters with chive butter and aïoli as a topping. Ensure oysters are fresh and properly shucked to avoid shell fragments. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
