Ingredients

• 24 pieces fresh oysters
• 0.5 cups oyster liquor (reserved from oysters)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1.5 cups breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
• 1 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish with butter.

Step 2

Shuck the oysters if necessary, reserving their liquor, and set both aside. Strain the oyster liquor through a fine sieve to remove any grit.

Step 3

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir constantly until they are golden brown and evenly coated with butter. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Warm the mixture over low heat without letting it boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat once warmed.

Step 5

Lay half of the oysters in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the warm cream mixture over the oysters, followed by half of the buttered breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Repeat the layers with the remaining oysters, cream mixture, and breadcrumbs, finishing with a generous layer of breadcrumbs on top.

Step 7

Drizzle the strained oyster liquor evenly over the top of the casserole. Sprinkle paprika on top, if using, for a touch of color.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 9

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy this decadent and flavorful scalloped oysters dish!
