1/4 lb butter |
1 celery rib, chopped |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped parsley |
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
1/4 teaspoon anise seed (very imprortant--do not omit) |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
cayenne |
black pepper |
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. Clean& drain oysters and set aside.
2. In skillet, melt butter& saute celery& onion, stir in parsley, spinach, anise, worcestershire, and pepper.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Grease or spray 8 ramekins.
5. Place 3 oysters in the bottom of ea ramekin.
6. Cover oysters with spinach mixture.
7. (***youcan do it in advance up to his point and refrigerate).

9. Remove& top with cheese and crumbs.
10. Return to oven for 10 minutes.
11. **Ifyou don't own ramekins, bake in a shallow baking pan.
12. This is not a beautiful dish, so the attractive containers help.
13. I made this for years without them.
14. The ramekins make it easier to serve, too.
