Ingredients

  • 48 fresh, unopened oysters
  • 1 ½ cups beer
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 7 black peppercorns
  • seasoned salt to taste
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces fontina cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fine bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1
Clean oysters, and place them in a large stockpot. Pour in beer and enough water to cover oysters; add 2 cloves of garlic, peppercorns, and seasoned salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, drain, and cool.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

Step 3
Once oysters are cooled, break off and discard the top shell. Arrange oysters on a baking sheet.

Step 4
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter until soft. Reduce heat to low; stir in spinach, Monterey Jack, fontina, and mozzarella. Cook until cheese melts, stirring frequently. Stir in milk; season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over each oyster, just filling the shell. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
