Ingredients

For the filling

2 tablespoons oil or margarine
3 cloves garlic, pressed
4 bunches shallots, chopped
2 pints oysters, chopped along with their liquid
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 ounce lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
Dash of oregano
¾ cup "Progresso" bread crumbs
¾ cup grated Romano cheese

For the shells

2 dozen cocktail pattie shells

Instructions

In a skillet, heat the oil or margarine over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots, cooking until soft and fragrant.

🧄 Cooking garlic too long can make it bitter, so keep an eye on it!
Stir in the chopped oysters along with their liquid, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often to combine the flavors.
Fold in the bread crumbs and Romano cheese, mixing until everything is well incorporated.

🧀 For an extra cheesy kick, consider adding shredded mozzarella to the mix!
Spoon the delicious mixture into the cocktail pattie shells, filling them generously.
Place the filled shells on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, until heated through.

🔥 Keep a close watch on them to prevent overcooking; the shells should be crisp but not burnt!

Yields

2 dozen delectable bites

Serving Suggestions

Pairing: Serve alongside a fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness of the oysters.
Wine: A chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied Pinot Grigio complements the dish beautifully!

Variations

Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic for an extra kick!
Herbaceous: Swap parsley for other fresh herbs like dill or chives for a unique flavor profile.
Vegetarian Alternative: Replace oysters with finely chopped mushrooms for a delightful vegetarian filling—just reduce the liquid slightly!

Enjoy every savory bite of this classic dish! 🌟
