- 4 chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon Pernod (optional)

How to cook Baked Parmesan Oyster with Bacon:
- Line a shallow baking pan with heavy aluminum foil and spread enough sea salt to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Scrub the oysters. Open the oysters carefully and leave them on the half shell. Set them in the baking pan.
- Boil 2 cups of water and dissolve the chicken bullion. Add the spinach and onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the liquid, chop the spinach (not too fine) and return the spinach back into the saucepan.

- Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400°F.
