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.

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.

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.

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.
