Arrange the shucked oysters on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.

Spoon a generous amount of the spinach mixture onto each oyster, covering the oyster completely.
- 7
Place the baking sheet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the topping is golden and bubbly.

Remove the Oysters Rockefeller from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
