Broiled Oysters

1. 1

   Preheat the broiler (I used the broiler on my smaller toaster oven as the oysters don't take up much space)

2. 2

   Heat a medium-sized sautee pan on medium heat and add the olive oil.

3. 3

   Add the pancetta, and sautee until the fat starts to render and begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the garlic scape, and continue to cook until the scape has softened, another 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the breadcrumbs, and toss, coating the breadcrumbs in the oil, and cooking until the bread begins to crisp, another 1-2 minutes. You don't want the bread to get too dark as it will cook more under the broiler.

6. 6

   Off the heat, add the parsley and lemon zest, salt & pepper and toss it all together.

7. 7

   On the broiler pan, spread out the half shell of each oyster that contains the oyster itself.

8. 8

   Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly amongst the oysters, and pop the pan into the oven.

9. 9

   Broil for 4-5 minutes, and serve.

    NOTES: I served mine with a big green salad. It was pretty tasty with all of the bacon and breadcrumbs, and made for a light weeknight meal.
