OYSTER CASSEROLE



Oyster Casserole image

Crumbled crackers often top this casserole, but we prefer homemade breadcrumbs because they soak up more butter.

Categories     Casserole

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons salted butter, divided
¼ cup chopped yellow onion
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped celery
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (16-oz.) containers fresh oysters, drained well
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (about 1 ½ cups)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup heavy cream
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about ¼ cup)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs (from ¼ baguette)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, scallions, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until vegetables soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add oysters and mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add cream, and cook, whisking constantly, until very thick and beginning to bubble. Add Parmesan, and cook, whisking constantly, until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
  • Using a fine wire-mesh strainer, strain oyster mixture; discard liquid. Add oyster mixture to cheese sauce; stir until fully incorporated. Stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spread mixture in a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter; toss breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over oyster mixture.
  • Broil on middle rack of oven until breadcrumbs are deep golden brown and mixture is bubbly, 4 to 5 minutes.

MOM'S OYSTER CASSEROLE



Mom's Oyster Casserole image

My mother has made this casserole every thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. It just wouldn't be the holidays without it. If my brother can't make it home for the holidays, it is one of his special requests when he is able to get home. The prep time is me using a food processor to chop and doesn't include the time to cut oysters in half if they are too large. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.
