Directions:
Oysters Mosca No. 1: Drain oysters (reserving water). Soak in olive oil. Let oil fall off oysters. Sprinkle with lots of garlic powder. Combine one cup Progresso bread crumbs and ? cup parmesan cheese. Roll each oyster in crumb mixture and place on baking pan. (Mosca's served this dish in a beat-up rectangular baking pan, dents and all. Everyone ate out of the pan, sopping drippings with chunks of French bread.) Sprinkle tops of oysters with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, salt, pepper and a little bit of oyster water. Top generously with parmesan cheese. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. If too dry, add oil. If too wet, add crumbs.
A while ago, we also printed this, from C.H. of Kenner, who wrote that this recipe dated to the 1970s.
Another Oysters Mosca: Do not drain oysters. Place them in buttered cake
