Some recipes you only make once a year because they’re just so-so. Other recipes, like this dish of scalloped oysters, you only make once a year because they’re too good.
Ingredients
- 3 cups crushed saltine crackers
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups shucked small oysters with liquor
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine saltine crackers and butter in a bowl; stir until all crumbs are saturated with butter.
Step 3
Spread 1/3 of the saltines mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Pour half of the oysters with their liquor over the saltines mixture. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Repeat with next 1/3 of saltines and remaining oysters. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and Italian parsley.
Step 4
Sprinkle remaining saltines mixture over the oysters. Drizzle cream slowly and evenly over the top.
