Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Drain the oysters, reserving 1 to 2 cups of the liquor.

  3. 3

    In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. Saute the onions, bell peppers, and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Saute until wilted, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic, mirlitons, and parsley. Saute for 1 minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the green onions, oyster liquor, and bread. Mix until incorporated. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Transfer the bread mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the cheese. Season with salt and cayenne.

  7. 7

    Season the oysters with salt and cayenne. Place oysters back in their shells. Place a heaping spoonful of the dressing on top of each oyster and press firmly.

  8. 8

    Place the shells on a baking sheet and bake until the oysters are cooked and the dressing is golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.

  9. 9

    Drizzle warm Hollandaise sauce over the tops and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
