Pesto and Goat Cheese Oysters
Serves 6

Take one dozen oysters, at least medium size, or 6 large beach oysters. Put on a tray and bake in a 400F oven for about 5-10 minutes or until the shells start to pop open. Or put them on a hot barbecue and grill until they pop open. Wait until they cool a bit, then pry off and discard the top shells. Mix together half a cup of soft goat's cheese (chevre) with a quarter cup store-bought pesto. (or your own home-made if you prefer). Slather the tops of the oysters with the cheese mixture, then return to the oven or bbq and reheat until the cheese has melted a bit. Serve immediately.
