Scalloped Oysters I
Now this sounds really good! I cannot wait to make this. This would be the small oysters already shucked and in the small containers at say Tesco or even available from vendors in villages. The recipe calls for 1 pint of oysters, I am going to go with 3 small containers from Tesco for this, after I make, I will report with photos.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Pan (8x8 inch)
Ingredients
- 1 pint oyster meat, shucked and drained, (2 cups)
- 1½ cups saltine cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted, (1 stick / ½ standard block)
- ¼ cup oyster liquid
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Get out a 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Combine crumbs with the melted butter. Put a thin layer of crumbs in the bottom of a baking dish. Alternate layers of oysters and crumb mixture, sprinkling each layer with seasoning of your choice. Do not use more than 2 layers of oysters.
- Mix the milk and the oyster liquid together and pour over the last layer of oysters, then top with crumb mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, serve as a main with several sides or as a side dish (to get more portions from it).
Notes
Once I make this I will report on the number of servings, photos, etc. Right now, a small container of oyster meat from Tesco is 45 Baht each, I am thinking 3 containers for a cost of 135 Baht. If you serve this as a side, say 6 servings, this is about 67 cents per serving. More to follow when I make this.
Variant: 1. Use green mussel meat, but you would need to remove any grass first.
