Method

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.


Place flour in a small shallow bowl.


In another shallow bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water until smooth.


In a third bowl, stir together panko, salt and cayenne.


One at a time, roll oysters in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko and place on the prepared baking sheet.


Lightly coat oysters with spray oil.


Bake until browned and crispy, about 12 minutes.


Meanwhile, separate lettuce into leaves.


Cut enough leaves so you have 12 (2-inch) squares of lettuce.


Place on a platter.


Very thinly slice some of the remaining leaves so you have 1 1/2 cups loosely packed lettuce.


In a bowl, toss sliced lettuce with dressing.


Divided dressed lettuce among lettuce squares and top with a hot oyster. Serve immediately.
