Ingredients
- 1 quart shucked oysters in their liquor
- 2 cups coarsely crushed saltine crackers
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup cream
- Nutmeg
- Salt and pepper
- Celery salt, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pick oysters free of any shells. In a deep buttered casserole, mix together crackers, bread crumbs, and melted butter. Place a thin layer of crumb mixture in the bottom of the casserole. Cover it with half of the oysters. Season cream with nutmeg, salt, pepper and celery salt (if using). Pour half of this mixture over the oysters. On the next layer, use the oysters, 3/4 of the remaining crumb mixture and cover that with seasoned cream. Top with the remaining crumbs. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

This was delicious! I made one change: I shorted the cream by 2 tablespoons and added 2 tablespoons of dry sherry. It added just a touch of flavor that really enhanced the oysters.

But I made this for some friends, and they just raved about it. I followed the recipe as is, but used a lot of pepper.
