Baked Oysters

I said that I would get my Mother in Laws recipe for this easy but tasty side dish. Sorry it took me so long.

1 qt oysters , drained
salt & pepper 1/3 tsp each or to taste
Cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp or to taste
1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter
4 ounces "or so" saltine crackers crumbled
1 pint heavy cream "might not use all"
1-2 Tablespoons of Jack Daniels - She uses 1
Fresh Parsley, chopped

Heat oven to 350
Lightly butter a 9 x 13 baking dish
Line baking dish with oysters
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cayenne, and onions
Cover oysters with crackers
Generously dot with butter
Sprinkle Jack Daniels over crackers
Pour heavy cream until BARELY covers crackers
Bake until bubbly & golden (about 30 minutes)
Sprinkle with fresh Parsley

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Dale thanks very much.. boy does that soud great!

Dale: Thanks for this recipe. May I understand that "Heat oven to 350°" can be translated as 'Bring WSM to 350°'? A little bit of smoke would just round this out methinks.

Keith, I am going to try them in the WSM someday.
My mother in law made them yesterday and man are the good. I think they need to be cooked a little longer than 30 minutes though. Maybe 40 minutes or so at 350.

Dale,

Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it.

I am a new WSM user and have only had two smokes so far and am getting ready for two weeks vacation - don't know how I'll live without my smoker.

If you love oysters, you may be interested in this recipe for "Blue Oysters". My wife and I love oysters and created this recipe for appetizers. Enjoy,

Blue Oysters

1 pint oysters
Absolute Citron Vodka (for the lemon flavor)
Blue cheese



Preheat broiler on high, with oven rack set as high as possible
Place clean oyster shells (we save them and wash in dishwasher between uses) on broiler pan. The ridges in the pan will hold the shells upright.
Sprinkle vodka over each oyster.
Crumble blue cheese (about 1/3 tsp) over each oyster
Broil until edges begin to curl and cheese is melting (usually about 4 ½ minutes)
