Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese, lemon juice and pepper. Spread kosher salt into 2 ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Shuck oysters, reserving oyster and its liquid in bottom shell. Lightly press oyster shells down into the salt, using salt to keep oysters level. Top each with 2-1/2 tsp. spinach mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 450° until oysters are plump, 6-8 minutes. Serve immediately.,

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Saute spinach and garlic in olive oil. Deglaze with liqueur and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add cream and Parmesan. Fill oysters with spinach mixture. Bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and sauté until they are just a tiny bit golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach, parsley, shallot and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in a small pinch of salt.
• Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon and add it to the bread crumb mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out 1 tablespoon of the juice; mix into the pan.
• Heat the broiler to high. Fill a baking pan (or two) with a 1/2-inch layer of salt or line the pan with crumbled up foil (to steady the oysters so the juices don't spill). Lay the oysters on top of the salt or foil. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce mixture on top of the oysters. Broil until just golden, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon on top, if you like.

Steps:

• Combine 4 tablespoons of the butter, the shallots, garlic, bacon and salt in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute until the shallots are translucent and the bacon is crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the flour and mix well to make a roux. Cook, stirring frequently, until the roux smells nutty, 4 to 5 minutes. Off the heat, deglaze the roux with the liqueur; carefully return the pan to the burner and let the liqueur flame. Add the cream and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the baby spinach, nutmeg, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using; bring back to a boil and once again immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook until the spinach has softened and released its liquid, 4 to 6 minutes. Over medium heat, cook the mixture down to a fondue-like thickness, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve to the side.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a small saute pan. When melted, remove from the heat and incorporate the breadcrumbs. Reserve to the side.
• Heat a grill to high heat. Preheat a broiler.
• Place the oysters on the grill and cook until the shells pop open, about 3 minutes. Remove the oysters to a cutting board and use an oyster knife to pry out the top shells, scraping the knife around the inside of each top shell to loosen the oyster. Once the top shell has been removed, discard it; then use the knife to scrape under the bottom of the oyster to separate it from the bottom shell, leaving the oyster "on the half shell."
• Spread the rock salt evenly on a baking sheet. Set the oysters, shell down, on the rock salt, pressing the shells into the salt. Spoon some of the baby spinach bacon fondue on top of each oyster; then sprinkle with the Parmesan, Gruyere and, lastly, the buttered breadcrumbs. Broil until the oysters are bubbly and the breadcrumbs toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
