This elegant appetizer is deceptively easy to prepare—simply bake the oysters with coarse salt and top with a dry white wine.

Ingredients

  • 12 unshucked oysters
  • Coarse salt
  • White wine

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°. Nestle oysters flat side up into a bed of coarse salt in a roasting pan. Bake until shells gape, 5-10 minutes. Discard any oysters that don't open. Pry off top shells, keeping oyster liquor from spilling, and cut lower muscles to release flesh. Spoon 1 tbsp. wine over each oyster.
