Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.
- Sprinkle remaining saltines mixture over the oysters. Drizzle cream slowly and evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Maybe I'm used to Oyster Stuffing. Made exactly as stated and it tasted like saltines. Even used fresh oysters with juice. It was also mushy, baked it longer but it was still yucky

This was really the best scalloped oysters I have ever eaten. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner with the family and made it the following week for my husband and I. No changes were made.

Easy to make after I watched the video. Disappeared quickly at a potluck. Agree you must use quality oysters of course!
