  1. I really wanted to like these but they turned out rather poorly. I could not get them to crisp or even properly brown despite baking them longer than suggested. I recommend the use of a very shallow tray or cookie sheet if you want the best result.
     
  2. If these had looked prettier, they would have earned 5 stars since you eat with your eyes first :). That said, the taste was really wonderful! Instead of crackers, I used panko, which gave them a wonderful crunch, even if they didn't brown very well. The timing in the recipe was perfect for me- at 15 minutes they were set enough to not be mushy, but still soft enough to not be rubbery. Usually I have oysters deep fried, so I don't eat them very often. I'm so glad to try a baked option- next time I think I'll try cooking them next time on a rack over a baking sheet to see if they'll brown a bit better.
     
  3. Terrible! Couldn't brown them in the baking dish. (Suggestion to use cookie sheet, perhaps.) Tasteless and mushy even after cooking them longer than recipe states.
     
  4. Recipe #54328 is better
     
  5. Delicious and easy. I used more a little more cheese and two cloves of garlic. My DH liked it even better than our usual way of preparing oysters. Thanks.
