I can’t remember when my love affair with baked shell foods began. My dad used to tag along with his friends when they eat at fine dining restaurants. I can’t remember if it was one of those times that we join them that I got to eat my first baked oyster. Gooey oyster topped with melted cheese — YUM! The cheap alternative would be the baked tahong we’ve had after we got home, and I was still craving for more. Then when I got to college, I’ve tried baked scallops, in Dencio’s.
Last night, we had baked tahong for dinner. I wish I had brought Oly in the kitchen, but I was too lazy to go up, I used my phone cam to take pictures. Enjoy the recipe!
INGREDIENTS:
boiled tahong (mussels), upper shell removed
butter
onion leaves, minced
garlic, minced
cheese
PROCEDURE
Chop garlic and onion leaves.
Mix chopped ingredients with 1/4 butter
Grate cheese.
Spread mixture on top of tahong.
Top with grated cheese.
Pop inside the oven toaster at 350C and toast until cheese has melted or brownish.
Serve hot.
*Mussels can be replaced with oyster or scallops
** I have tried using Spinach in the mixture before. So good and nutritious :)
Happy Baking,
