BOBI'S SCALLOPED OYSTERS



Bobi's Scalloped Oysters image

Bobi Jane is a great friend and "adopted sister" of Pop's. She is a fellow foodie and enjoys all things culinary except dishes, as in...cleaning them. She brought this to church for one of our "Eatin' Meetin's". I held her hostage until she gave me the recipe. She laughed and told me it was just a oysters, crackers, milk, and butter. I 'bout fell over.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Oysters

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups crushed saltine crackers
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cups shucked small oysters with liquor
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine saltine crackers and butter in a bowl; stir until all crumbs are saturated with butter.
  • Spread 1/3 of the saltines mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for scalloped oysters. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but make sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose the right type of cracker. Ritz crackers are the traditional cracker for scalloped oysters, but you can use any type of cracker that you like. Some other good options include saltine crackers, oyster crackers, or even crushed potato chips.
  • Don't overcook the oysters. Oysters are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
  • Serve scalloped oysters immediately. Scalloped oysters are best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can bake them and then reheat them in a low oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Scalloped oysters are a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their creamy, cheesy sauce and tender oysters, they are the perfect comfort food. Whether you are serving them for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal, scalloped oysters are sure to be a hit.
