Chipotle Cheese Oysters

2 tbsp or more canned chipotle peppers, finely chopped

2 cups of grated jack and cheddar cheese mixed together

12 extra small to medium oysters on the 1/2 shell

Mix together the chopped chipotle peppers and the cheese mix until fully incorporated.

Drain off any extra oyster liquor and place the oysters in a shallow baking dish filled with rock salt to keep them level. Top each oyster generously with the chipotle cheese mixture.

Bake at 400 degrees in the oven, or grill them on the bbq until cheese has melted and the oysters are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.
