Cheezy Oyster Toast

Submitted by Chefro

"I adapted this from a recipe on a smoked oyster can. This is good comfort food that you just want to keep eating. You can use smoked clams or mussels instead. Some brands don't have a strong smokey flavor but that can be remedied with a little liquid smoke. I like this best with potato bread, any other bread that can hold up to the weight can be used. I've served this as an appetizer using toast wedges."

• Yields: 4 Slices
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) can smoked oysters
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1⁄4 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• salt
• pepper
• 4 slices potato bread

directions

1. Drain oil and liquid from the can of Oyster into a hot skillet.
2. Add the Onion and saute until translucent and very soft.
3. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
4. Add the Cottage Cheese and Tomato Paste to the skillet and combine.
5. Add the Oysters and break them up into smaller pieces.
6. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat. You know its done when the curds are gone and the mix is a bubbly thick sauce.
7. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
8. Spoon even amounts into the center of each slice of toast. It should be thick enough to not spill over the edges of the toast. Let it rest a moment to cool and firm up before devouring.
