Yields: 6 servings
6 large fresh oysters, shucked
Green Chile-Garlic Butter (recipe follows)
¼ cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup sliced green onion
French bread, to serve
Green Chile-Garlic Butter
Preheat oven to 425°.
Arrange oysters in an oyster baking container. Top each oyster with 1 tablespoon Green Chile-Garlic Butter.
Bake until oysters begin to curl around the edges, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to broil.
In a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle oysters with bread crumbs mixture. Add ⅓ cup Green Chile-Garlic Butter to well.
Broil on middle rack of oven until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onion. Serve immediately with bread and additional Green Chile-Garlic Butter.
