Instructions

With an oyster knife, open the oysters and remove the top leaving the oyster on the bottom half for layering the other ingredients.
Combine all other ingredients and spoon over each oyster.
Use a frog mat underneath the oysters so they don’t fall through the grates and let them smoke for 20 minutes or until the cheese has begun to slightly melt.
