What to do with this seasonal delicacy now that the holidays are upon us? At my house, we have the perfect answer: Scalloped oysters! This is a favorite dish for us during the holidays and has been made in my family for as long as I can remember. I later prepared it for Bill’s family with it being an instant hit. It is always a race to see if it can be made before some people devour the raw oysters.
This scalloped oyster recipe is very simple, with the briny oysters layered with butter, half and half and crumbled crackers. Do not skimp on the ingredients; use real butter, half and half and a rich butter cracker. Do not crush the crackers into dust; crumble them into bite-size chunks. It has a mild oyster taste and is a special side dish. Serve it bubbly hot and it will be a requisite on your holiday table. Talk about savory and delectable, this is it!
