Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about 175°C for those using the metric system!).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until it resembles a sandy beach – you know, crumbly and heavenly!
- Next, take your shucked oysters and place them in a baking dish. If you’re feeling fancy, you can use oyster shells for a presentation that’ll wow your friends!
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the oysters. It’s like giving them a creamy bath!
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously on top of each oyster. Don’t be shy – we want a glorious crust!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Bonus points if your neighbors come knocking because they can smell the deliciousness!
- Once done, let cool for a hot minute (they’re hotter than your summer fling!) and serve immediately. Enjoy your creation while you bask in your culinary glory!
