Oysters are always excellent. They are delicious as is, as well as with added ingredients.
One thing I know, for example, is that one of the types of oysters that people like to eat the most is oysters Rockefeller. And that speaks to me. Cooking oysters with lots of good ingredients inside, on the BBQ, and gratinating cheese on top… Mmm! 😍
So I thought about it and figured I should show you how to make some really good, smoked, BBQ Rockefeller Oysters.
Here we go!
Required tools:
Ingredients :
- 24 oysters, type of your choice
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 12 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and drained
- 1 packet of powdered Hollandaise sauce
- ¼ cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp gluten-free breadcrumbs
Preparation :
- Fill the Smoker Box with maple wood chips and place it on the BBQ grills or on the appliance baffles, in the indirect cooking zone. Preheat the grill to 500°F.*
- Open the oysters and empty their juice, then set aside.
- Place a cast iron skillet on the BBQ grills, in the indirect cooking zone, and melt the butter. Then add the garlic pieces and spinach leaves to the skillet and cook the ingredients until the leaves become tender. Set aside.
- Prepare Hollandaise sauce according to package directions, then add spinach leaves and garlic pieces to container. Mix until smooth.
- When there is a nice transparent smoke coming out of the BBQ, place the oysters on the grills of the appliance, in the indirect cooking zone, as far as possible from the Smoke Box. Garnish the oysters with hollandaise sauce and let them cook for 5 min.
- Sprinkle the oysters with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs, then turn on the back burner so the cheese can brown on top. When everything is to your liking, remove the oysters from the grill.
- Serve and enjoy!
*If you are working with a pellet BBQ, use maple pellets in your appliance instead. You do not need the Smoker Box to make this recipe.
Happy BBQ! 🔥
