TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1-1/4 hours Bake: 10 min.
YIELD: 3 dozen.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 package (9 ounces) fresh spinach, torn
  • 1 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds kosher salt
  • 3 dozen fresh oysters in the shell, washed

Instructions

  • 1. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese, lemon juice and pepper.
    Spread kosher salt into 2 ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Shuck oysters, reserving oyster and its liquid in bottom shell. Lightly press oyster shells down into the salt, using salt to keep oysters level. Top each with 2-1/2 tsp. spinach mixture.
    Bake, uncovered, at 450° until oysters are plump, 6-8 minutes. Serve immediately.
