Scalloped Oysters

Pick oysters free of any shells.

Mix together crackers, bread crumbs, and melted butter.

In a deep, buttered casserole dish, place a thin layer of the cracker crumb butter mixture. Cover it with half of the oysters. Season the cream with the nutmeg, celery salt, salt, and pepper. Pour half of this over the oyster layer. On the next layer, place the rest of the oysters, and then 3/4 of the remaining cracker mix. Cover with the balance of the seasoned cream and the last of the cracker mix.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

If you have a choice of what type of oysters to buy, get the smallest in size. If the oysters are large (bigger than a quarter), cut them up.
