Southern Oyster Casserole




Source of Recipe


(marloah)


List of Ingredients




2 quarts oysters
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
3 whole scallions, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, seeded, de-ribbed, and chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Recipe



Preheat the broiler. Grease a 9x13-inch ovenproof serving dish or
spray it with nonstick spray. Drain the oysters and set aside. Melt
2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy casserole. Add the scallions
and pepper and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add
the mushrooms and oysters and saute for 5 minutes. In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter. Stir in the flour.

When smooth, add the cream, and stir until boiling and thick. Add the
cheese. Stir this cheese sauce into the oyster mixture and season
with nutmeg, paprika, salt, and pepper. The casserole may be made
ahead to this point and refrigerated overnight.

Return it to simmer on top of the stove before proceeding. Pour the
mixture into the prepared dish and top with the bread crumbs and dot with the remaining butter. Place under the broiler until browned and bubbling - about 10 minutes, depending on the depth of the casserole.
