Special Equipment: Food Processor

1. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the garlic puree, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper using a rubber spatula.
2. Make the Garlic Mojo: In a food processor, place the roasted garlic puree, lemon juice, white balsamic, salt, thyme, garlic powder, black pepper, lemon zest, jalapeo, and 1/4 cup water. Run the processor until the mixture is blended smooth (about 2 minutes). While it's running, drizzle in the oil slowly. Turn off the processor and add the chopped green onions. Pulse around 7 times to evenly mix in the onions.
3. Prepare the Oysters: Preheat your convection oven to 425F.
4. Carefully open the oysters and set them on a baking tray. Dab about 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic butter and 1 teaspoon of the garlic mojo on top of each oyster in its shell. Sprinkle a layer of panko breadcrumbs (about 2 teaspoons) over each.
5. Bake the oysters until they're cooked through and the breadcrumbs turn golden, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer baked oysters to a serving platter and decorate with lemon wedges.
