Old-Fashioned Scalloped Oysters

Ingredients:

2/3 Cup soft breadcrumbs (I use Progresso Italian Style)
1 1/3 Cups fine cracker crumbs (crush ‘em in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin)
1/2 Cup butter, melted
1 1/2 pints small shucked oysters, reserve liquor
3/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 Tbs chopped parsley (fresh)
½1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 Tbs milk or cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix the breadcrumbs, cracker crumbs and melted butter.

Place half the crumb mixture on the bottom of a greased one-quart casserole.  Add half the oysters, and sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper and parsley.  Add the remaining oysters and sprinkle with the remaining salt, pepper and parsley.

Mix one-third cup oyster liquor with the Worcestershire sauce and milk and pour over the oysters.  Top with the remaining crumb mixture.

Bake, uncovered, until puffy and brown, about 45 minutes.
