- Put the bread cubes and mushrooms in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds to combine. Add in the remaining ingredients, except the oysters, and process till the particles are well minced and pea-like in texture, about 30 seconds. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
- Shuck the oysters, cutting the muscle but leaving the oyster in the deep cupped shell. Cover each oyster loosely with 1 rounded Tbsp. of the breadcrumb-mushroom mix, coating the entire surface of the oyster.
- Arrange the oysters on a baking sheet and place on the middle shelf of the oven. (A thin layer of rock salt on the baking sheet will help the oysters to stay upright.)
- Bake till the topping is golden brown, 6 to 8 min. Watch the time and the oysters carefully - they can overcook and dry out quickly. Serve immediately.
- This recipe yields 4 to 8 servings.
- Comments: This simple topping gets its wonderful earthy flavor from mushrooms, herbs and cheese, making it a perfect finish for baked oysters. Italian- or possibly French-style hearty-textured bread - preferably a day old - will produce the desired crumb consistency; avoid soft, airy loaves.
