Crispy Creole Baked Oysters
Oysters have long been one of my favorite seafoods. I typically prefer them served raw on the half shell but that is almost impossible to enjoy as a home-prepared dish. For health reasons I am trying to avoid fried foods so I jumped at the chance to try these Crispy Creole Baked Oysters and I was not disappointed and you won’t be either ….”I gar-on-tee” as Justin Wilson would say!
This recipe is pretty simple to cook. It is low calorie but does have a few carbs due to the bread crumbs and flour. It is intended to be an appetizer but I have been known to enjoyed it as my lunch! A dipping sauce is a must and I suggest my Smoky Remoulade Sauce (recipe is available on this website) but there are dozens of sauces available at the grocery store … and if all else fails, you probably have Ranch Dressing or red cocktail sauce in your refrigerator.
Instructions
-
Assemble all the ingredients and preheat oven to 400°F.
-
In a shallow bowl or dredging pan, combine flour, salt & pepper and, half the Creole seasoning. Into another bowl/pan, pour the beaten eggs. In a third bowl/pan, combine panko crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic salt and the remaining Creole seasoning.
-
Coat oysters first with the flour mixture, then dip in eggs and last coat with the crumb mixture. Place in a greased baking pan or sheet and spray or drizzle the tops with olive oil.
-
Bake on middle rack for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve the oysters immediately with your favorite Creole/Cajun dipping sauce; I used my Smoky Remoulade Sauce (recipe available on this website).
