Oysters Rockefeller Recipe

This is a family recipe I was afraid to try when I was younger. It just didn't appeal to me. Oysters can be quite scary when you're young.

My grandparents used to always whip up this oysters rockefeller recipe on Christmas day. Although I didn't partake, it sure did smell nice.

I always have love the aroma of garlic and there's a lot of it in this recipe.

Nowadays I tend to just make this mouthwatering oysters rockefeller recipe for wife and me. Or every so often I get a chance to make it for people I know will love it.

You can easily double or triple this recipe if you would like to make them for a crowd.

You haven't tried oysters rockefeller until you've tried this recipe!

I love the crispy bread crumbs that top two sauces and an oyster that is still raw but warm. My family doesn't include the hot sauce but I like it so that's that.

Enjoy.
