Broiled Oysters with Ramp Butter and Parmesan

By Sarah Diebboll

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

12 fresh oysters
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup chopped ramp leaves
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to broil.

Shuck the oysters, and discard the top shells. Arrange the oysters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, ramp leaves, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Top each oyster with a small spoonful of the ramp butter mixture, spreading it evenly across the top.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil for 1-3 minutes, or until the butter is melted and bubbly, and the oysters are cooked through.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve the broiled oysters immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
