A delightful twist on the classic deviled oysters, this recipe combines fresh flavors and a crispy topping for a dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oysters, eggs, lemon zest, green onions, celery, bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the oysters.
Sauté the mixture in a pan over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and the oysters start to curl.
Stir constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Transfer the mixture into individual ramekins or a casserole dish.
Using ramekins makes for elegant individual servings.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top and drizzle with melted butter.
Ensure the breadcrumbs are evenly distributed for a consistent crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Check occasionally to avoid over-browning.
Serve hot, garnished with a slice of lemon or fresh herbs.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
