Quick and Easy Broiled Oyster Appetizer


I bought a can of Oysters at the grocery store one day, I didn't really have a plan for them then, but they seemed like an interesting thing to try. I finally used them tonight as an appetizer. I didn't know what to expect from oysters in a can but they were actually plump, juicy, not too filling before a meal, and surprisingly great!

1 can of Oysters in their own juice

1 hand full of fresh chopped cilantro

1/2 cup canned no salt added diced tomatoes (leave a little bit of the tomato juice in)

1/4 cup diced onions

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup diced pear (diced very, very small) this is the surprise flavor in the dish, it adds a nice sweet note

That's it! line a baking dish with your drained oysters.
Scatter the other ingredients on and around your oysters.
Broil for 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve with crackers or bruchetta.
