A classic oyster stuffing recipe, perfect for poultry or as a side dish. This modernized version provides clear instructions and ingredient measurements for a delicious and easy-to-make stuffing.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Stale bread crumbs (Use day-old bread, pulsed in a food processor.)
- 0.5 cup Melted butter
- 0.5 tsp Salt (Or to taste)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (Or to taste)
- 0.25 tsp Onion juice (About ¼ of a small onion, grated and squeezed)
- 1 pint Oysters (Fresh oysters, shucked and drained)
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the stale bread crumbs, melted butter, salt, pepper, and onion juice. Mix well to ensure the bread crumbs are evenly coated with butter and seasonings.
- 2Gently fold in the cleaned and drained oysters into the bread crumb mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break down the oysters.
- 3To bake as a side dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the oyster stuffing to a greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. To stuff poultry: Loosely stuff the oyster mixture into the cavity of the bird just before roasting. Do not overstuff. Roast the bird according to its size and weight.
