🧑🍳 Step-by-Step Guide to Baked Oysters
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place oysters in a deep baking dish with the cupped side down to retain their natural juices.

Bake for 5–6 minutes, or until the top shell begins to pop open.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven—watch for steam!
3. Shell Removal
Use an oyster knife or towel to fully remove the top shell, being cautious of the hot steam.
4. Add Flavor
Top your oysters with your favorite ingredients! Try melted butter, minced garlic, grated cheese, or a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
5. Final Bake
Return to the oven for another 6 minutes, or until the oysters reach an internal temperature of 135°F.
