Description
Delicious baked oysters topped with a creamy miso mayo sauce and cheese, perfect for any seafood lover!
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pieces Fresh Oysters (Substitute with any large oysters available.)
- 1/2 cup Japanese Mayonnaise (For regular mayo, increase lemon juice to balance flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons Miso Paste (Light miso provides a milder taste; darker varieties for deeper flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon Mirin (Do not substitute for an authentic flavor experience.)
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (Use any preferred brand, adjust to suit your spice preference.)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice (Fresh juice is recommended for the best flavor.)
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach (Can substitute with kale or another leafy green.)
- 1 cup Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese (shredded) (Omit for a dairy-free version.)
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler or BBQ to high heat, around 500°F (260°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the broiler to fully heat up.
- Prepare your oyster shells or ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill with coarse salt to stabilize the oysters.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Japanese mayonnaise with miso paste, stirring until smooth. Blend in mirin, hot sauce, and lemon juice.
- Evenly distribute the fresh spinach among the oyster shells or ramekins.
- Carefully place the oysters on top of the spinach.
- Generously spoon about 1 tablespoon of the creamy miso mayo sauce over each oyster. Sprinkle cheese on top.
- Broil for 5–8 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, alongside a crisp salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, ensure all sauces used are gluten-free.
- Adjust the hot sauce quantity to meet your spice preference.
