What is wrong with my findOne() implementation?

Question

I have followed all basic tutorials in search to fix this. My implementation of collection.findOne({_id: ctx.params.id}) is just not working.

// import statements for version transparancy, they are not really used here
import { MongoClient } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";
import { Application, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

// ...
const recipes = db.collection<Recipe>("recipes");

// ...
router.get("/rec/:id", async (ctx) => {
    const id = ctx.params.id;
    const recipe = await recipes.findOne({ _id: { $oid: id } });
    // const recipe = await recipes.findOne({_id: id});

    if (recipe) {
        ctx.response.status = 200;
        ctx.response.body = recipe;
    } else {
        ctx.response.status = 404;
        ctx.response.body = { message: "No recipe found" };
    }
});

Is there a current bug that I am not aware of?

Once I call that endpoint with http://localhost:5000/rec/622b6be81089abbc4b4144a1 (and yes, that ID is in my database), I get an internal server error (500) with the following message:

[uncaught application error]: Error - MongoError: {"ok":0,"errmsg":"unknown operator: $oid","code":2,"codeName":"BadValue"}

request: {
  url: "http://localhost:5000/rec/622b6be81089abbc4b4144a1",
  method: "GET",
  hasBody: false
}
response: { status: 404, type: undefined, hasBody: false, writable: true }

Downgrading the version did not help either.
