Scalloped oysters are a traditional dish served in VA and NC at Christmas. This recipe from a cookbook entitled Country Store Christmas Cook Book issued by Christ and Grace Episcopal Church in Petersburg, VA many years ago. I have substituted saltine cracker crumbs for an equal amount of bread crumbs. Ingredients:
1 quart of shucked large oyster |
1/4 lb butter |
1 cup saltine crumbs |
salt and pepper |
cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place a layer of oysters in the bottom of a rectangular baking dish, sprinkling salt and pepper and cracker crumbs over lightly. Dot this heavily with butter. Continue the process until the baking dish is full. Sprinkle a few Tablespoons of cream over the dish if you wish (I think this improves) and let the dish set for 30 minutes. Bake in a 400 F oven for about 20 minutes or so until the dish is done.
