Baked Oysters/Mussels

This is as simple as it's going to get. Shuck the oysters or mussels then throw it in the grill it, right? Yeah, but I got a better way in making it more interesting to eat. I created something that will put a kick in the dish, it's a mixture of cheese and butter with other extra ingredients. You can make it ahead of time or simply store it in the refrigerator for future use.

Baked Oysters/Mussels
What you'll need:
1 kilo oysters/mussels, shucked

For the topping mixture:
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp pepper
Other optional toppings:
- bread crumbs
- red and green bell peppers, chopped
- red chilies, chopped
- bacon bits

How to:
1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except for the oysters. Mix well.
2. Spread the mixture in a cling wrap and roll to form 1" diameter log.
3. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting into 1/2" coins.
4. Top each oysters with the cheese/butter coin.
5. Top with other optional toppings of your liking.
6. Place oysters in a baking pan layered with salt to stabilize it.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cheese browns.
8. Take-out from the oven and serve. Enjoy!
