Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, salt, or crumpled foil.
- Shuck the oysters, placing the meat back in the deeper bottom shell, discarding the top shell.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
- Mix breadcrumbs, parsley, grated cheese, salt, and pepper into the garlic butter until crumbly.
- Generously mound the breadcrumb mixture on top of each oyster, covering them completely.
- Bake the oysters in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with lemon wedges before serving.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality oysters and freshly grated cheese. Avoid using pre-grated cheese for a smoother texture.
If you're missing ingredients, don't stress; there are good substitutions available for garlic, breadcrumbs, and cheese.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a 175°C (350°F) oven for 8-10 minutes. Serve with a refreshing salad or a crisp white wine to enhance the experience.
