Ingredients
Directions
In a pan lightly coated with cooking spray or olive oil, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
Crumble/crush crackers in a zip lock bag and pour into a bowl. Add sage, pepper, onion and garlic to the crackers and stir to combine. Put a shallow layer in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Drain oysters except retain ¼ cup of liquid. Add a layer of oysters to the casserole.
Then cover with remaining cracker mixture.
Pour melted butter over the mixture and then add the ¼ cup of oyster liquid.
Add cream to the casserole to moisten and fill until the liquid reaching about ½ inch from the top of the crackers.
Bake on 350 for 30 minutes or until the edges of the oysters curl. It’s easy to over-cook this and dry it out.
