Oysters can be a polarizing food, with some loving the salty, briny shellfish and others … well, not so much. Here’s a trick: Cooking oysters<\/a> can win over both groups, especially if you’re using the most famous oyster recipe ever. Oysters Rockefeller is\u00a0so perfectly made that it hasn’t changed at all in its century-long history.<\/p>\n The classic appetizer<\/a> was invented way back in 1889 at Antoine’s Restaurant in New Orleans. The chef, Jules Alciatore, named the luxurious dish after John D. Rockefeller, then the world’s richest man. Though the original recipe is still a closely-guarded secret, most versions feature oysters on the half-shell baked beneath a buttery green sauce.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, saute the onion in butter until it’s tender. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until it’s wilted.<\/p>\n Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cheese, lemon juice and pepper. Set aside.<\/p>\n Spread the kosher salt into two ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pans. You’re baking the oysters in a bed of salt, so it will look like a lot!<\/p>\n Scrub the oysters well under cold water. To shuck oysters, use an oyster knife (it’s a blunt knife that will protect your hands in the event that the knife slips). Use a kitchen towel to hold the oyster steady. Work the tip of the knife into the hinge of the shell and gently pry it open. Always work gently, as oyster shells are slippery. After the oyster shells come apart, carefully remove the flat half of the shell. Reserve the oyster and the liquid in the bottom shell.<\/p>\n Lightly press the oyster shells down into the salt, using the salt to keep them level. (You don’t want to spill the liquid!)<\/p>\n Top each oyster with\u00a02-1\/2 teaspoons of the spinach sauce.<\/p>\n Bake the oysters, uncovered, at 450\u00b0F for about six to eight minutes until the oysters are plump. Serve immediately, with fresh lemon slices on the side.<\/p>\n Keep leftover oysters Rockefeller in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to two days. Be sure to heat them completely before eating. To reheat, place the oysters in a covered pan and bake at 400\u00b0 for about six to eight minutes until they’re hot.<\/p>\n Oysters Rockfeller are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. However, they can be made up to two days ahead of time. Keep them in the refrigerator until ready to heat and serve.<\/p>\n You may freeze oysters Rockefeller. It’s best if you don’t cook them first. Prepare the dish through Step 4, and then cover them tightly with plastic wrap instead of cooking them. The oysters and sauce will keep for up to two months in the freezer, although their texture may change the longer you store them.<\/p>\n When you’re ready to eat, remove them from the freezer and place them on a baking pan. Cook them as described in Step 5, factoring in additional time for the oysters to cook through.<\/p>\n Raw oysters are slurped directly from their shell, but the rich sauce of oysters Rockefeller is too thick to slurp. Serve the oysters with forks so guests can easily savor the dish.<\/p>\n Plan for two to three oysters per person when serving oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer course.<\/p>\n Yes, you can buy frozen oysters for this recipe since the oysters will be cooked. Note that frozen oysters, once defrosted, should not be refrozen.<\/p>\n Oysters are done cooking once they become nice and plump, and the edges start to curl up from the shell.<\/p>\n Slices of chewy, crusty bread<\/a> are perfect for sopping up every drop of the delicious sauce.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This old-school oysters Rockefeller recipe is decadent and dressed-up, yet easy to make at home.

These taste exactly like the ones from our favorite seaside restaurants! Thank you for the spot on taste!

I also always used the oyster liquor and a dash of Absinthe, Pernod or Herbsaint, depending what I had on hand. Since I was making for people that had an aversion to raw oysters, this recipe looked promising. So I proceeded with caution. Turned out better than anticipated. Not one left. I am an oysters on the half shell girl and can easily put away a dozen on my own. Never met an oyster I didn't like, yet understand those that are a bit squeamish. This recipe is perfect to introduce non seafood lovers to broaden their horizons. Always a fun happy hour appetizer when I can get fresh oysters. Give them a try!","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"09\/27\/2019 05:35","GUID":"cdf8011af81447e09df67399bbfc397e","MemberId":9114200,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Naomie","SubmittedDate":"09\/27\/2019 05:35"},{"Comment":"Don\u2019t even bother with this recipe... tastelessness defines.","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"08\/31\/2019 23:44","GUID":"0ee344c2a9dc4b62bcc97a765bc2cee9","MemberId":9693865,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"Ray","SubmittedDate":"08\/31\/2019 23:44"},{"Comment":"If there is a perfect recipe, this is it. Even people who don't like oysters, love these. Personally, I never met an oyster I didn't like (as long as they are fresh). If your seafood store will not shuck the oysters for you, instructions are available on the internet. Sure to impress your guests.","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"10\/28\/2018 21:55","GUID":"398d4b54ee374dc2a5dd045762a0a8a8","MemberId":5143350,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"OwlTree","SubmittedDate":"10\/28\/2018 21:55"},{"Comment":"
