Oysters Rockefeller Origination

Oysters Rockefeller dates back to the 1800s where it originated at Antoine’s restaurant in New Orleans. It is said that one customer exclaimed “This is as rich as a Rockefeller!” Oysters Rockefeller typically are made up of butter, spinach, parsley, breadcrumbs, and Pernod.

Oysters Rockefeller Dip Recipe Tip

Pernod is an anise-flavored liqueur and it adds a distinctive taste. But it is very expensive and I don’t recommend buying it just to make this dip. It will taste perfectly delicious without it.

Cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream form a super creamy base for this dip. Parmesan cheese, TABASCO sauce, lemon juice, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce add just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the flavor of the oysters and spinach.

Make Ahead and Storage

This recipe can be assembled up to 8 hours in advance and refrigerated until you are realy to place it in the oven. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days.
