2. Top each oyster with half a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of Parmesan.
3. Place under the griller (broiler) and cook for 2-3 minutes or until cheese has browned a little and prosciutto and oyster just heated through.
4. Remove from the griller (broiler) and top the hot oysters with a teaspoon of diced tomato, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of snipped chives.

Really great way to grill oysters! The flavours work really well together and wrapping the oysters in prosciutto protects them from direct heat so they don't burn while the parmesan browns. Only change I made was that I only had dried chives so mixed them with the tomato and lemon juice while cooking the oysters to help reconstitute them a little.
