Baked Talaba with Cheese and Garlic

I don't usually eat talaba but if it's baked talaba with garlic and cheese, bring it on!



I just love it even more if there's a generous amount of cheese and fried garlic topping that the non-seasoned oyster eater like me are already satisfied by the "looks" and aroma of it.


But baked talaba costs around 3x as much as the steamed talaba so why not make one at home.



Here's a very simple recipe for Baked Talaba with Cheese and Garlic


Ingredients
  • 2 kilos talaba or oysters, retain half shell
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 whole garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups grated cheese, the more toppings the better
How to cook Baked Talaba
  1. In a pan, melt butter in medium heat.
  2. Saute minced garlic until golden brown.
  3. Drain garlic and set aside the melted butter
  4. Prepare oysters - clean and wash thoroughtly. Choose those with deeper shells so it can hold more toppings. Pour boiling water into each oyster.
  5. Place topping into each oyster shell. Pour the melted butter on the oyster then top garlic.
  6. Place a very generous amount of cheese then more garlic on top. You can also sprinkle powdered milk on top of the cheese. 
  7. Bake in an oven pre heated at 350 degrees F for approximately 10-15 mins or until cheese has melted. 
  8. Serve hot.
