Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet. If you're not comfortable shucking, you can ask your fishmonger to do this for you.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously over each oyster, ensuring they are well-covered.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the oysters from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
