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.
