I started making this quite a few years ago and absolutely love it. It isn't for everyone though because it does have a heavier texture to it due to the eggs and cream. But the cayenne (which I add more off and less of the oysters makes this a favorite of mine and my daughter.
I've also tried it w/o the oysters and liked it even more.

This is NOT a dressing. It's more like a custard/pudding. It was expensive to make and not one person at our table liked it. I would not recommend it.

I tried this recipe last year for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit with the family. This will be a Thanksgiving staple with our family now.
