ASSEMBLY: 
Shuck 36 Copps Island Oysters, release the oyster from the shell and lay on crumpled up foil to keep the
juice inside the oyster shell.
Top each oyster with ½oz of Rocks filling and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs
2 ways to cook!
Put oysters directly on preheated (high flame or Charcoal) grill grates and close grill. Cook until topping
is bubbling and the breadcrumbs and filling have caramelized & turned a gorgeous golden brown.
Place in preheated 400 degree oven on a sheet tray with the crumpled foil. Bake about 15 minutes or until all the great things from above happen to the oyster in the oven. Gorgeous golden brown and bubbly!
