24 fresh oysters
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic — chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram
zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Shuck the oysters and set aside on the half shell. Discard the remaining shells.

In a medium bowl, mix together thoroughly the bread crumbs, garlic, mustard, olive oil, thyme, basil, marjoram, lemon zest, and cheese.

Top each oyster with about 1 teaspoon of the breadcrumb mixture and place the oysters on a baking sheet. Cook under high broiler (grill) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oysters are crispy and golden brown.

Serve the Herbed Baked Oysters hot, with a wedge of lemon and your favorite hot pepper sauce on the side.
