Description
This creamy Oysters Rockefeller Dip takes the classic New Orleans dish and turns it into a warm, cheesy, and indulgent appetizer. Perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or cozy dinners, it’s rich, flavorful, and easy to scoop with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
8–10 oz oysters (fresh or canned, chopped)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup chopped spinach, drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Chop oysters finely and drain excess liquid.
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with melted butter until smooth.
Stir in Parmesan, garlic, onion, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Gently fold in oysters and spinach until combined.
Transfer mixture to a lightly greased baking dish.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top if using.
Bake 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Broil 1–2 minutes for a golden top if desired.
Let rest 5 minutes, then serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
Notes
Use well-drained oysters to prevent a watery dip.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top before broiling.
Make ahead by preparing the dip a day in advance; bake just before serving.
For a lighter version, substitute part of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.
