With "oyster season" in full bloom here on Amelia Island and in need of a dish to take to Thanksgiving dinner, I thought something with oysters would be appropriate. Most of the time we just roast them and shuck 'em but this is a fairly easy way to cook them too:
(1) Pint of oysters 3/4 Cup Whipping Cream
(3) Cups Saltine Cracker crumbs 1/4 Cup oyster liquor
3/4 Cup melted butter 1/4 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Teaspoon Salt Dash Pepper
1 Teaspoon Tobasco sauce
Drain the oysters, saving the liquor. Combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, salt and pepper. Spread 1/3 of crumbs in a greased 8"x11" baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the oysters, then spread another 1/3 of the crumbs over the oysters. Layer this with the last 1/2 of oysters. Mix the oyster liquor, whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce and tobasco and pour over oysters until they are covered. Top with the last of the cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
