Baked Oysters with Bleu Cheese, Bacon and Hot Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • Two dozen oysters, either in the ½ shell or jarred.
  • (Today our market only had jarred, apparently fresh oysters in Idaho is not top priority)
  • 5 oz. Blue cheese, chunked
  • 4-5 pieces bacon, precooked
  • One green onion, finely chopped
  • Franks Hot sauce or Sriracha sauce
  • Fresh parsley to garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°.  If you're using jarred oysters, wash them thoroughly and remove any gritty shell particles and place them in a muffin tin. If your using oysters are in the shell, you can forgo the muffin tin and just place them on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the oysters in the oven at 400° for 20 minutes or until done.  
  3. Remove from the oven and place a small piece of precooked bacon on each oyster, then a hefty slab of bleu cheese. Top off with a squirt of hot sauce.
  4. Return back to the oven just until the bleu cheese has melted. Remove from the oven and as soon as they have cooled to the touch, transfer to a platter and serve.
