Oysters

The oyster season officially opens on September 19. Oysters are considered a luxurious and festive delicacy, but they’re also a healthy choice. They contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Iodine, for example, supports a healthy metabolism, and vitamin B1 contributes to the proper functioning of the heart muscle.
Farmed oysters are also a good choice in terms of sustainability.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 12 oysters

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

• 20 g Parmesan cheese

• 25 g soft butter

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 140°C (285°F) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Crumple the foil slightly so the oysters can sit steadily.

2. Open the oysters and drain the liquid. Place them on the baking tray.

3. Mix the soft butter with the chopped parsley in a bowl and distribute the mixture over the oysters.

4. Grate the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the oysters.

5. Place the oysters in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Enjoy!

Tip:
Serve the oysters on a flat platter with crumpled aluminum foil for an elegant presentation.
