Easy Oyster Dressing

A coastal favorite, oyster dressing is a staple on holiday tables from Maine to Miami. Sure, it’s delicious, but it’s also easy to make. Fresh oysters (please, no canned) give it a subtle but distinctive twist. This is a half-hour into the oven and a half-hour baking. When you pull it out you’ll have an unforgettable stuffing that your guests will be talking about until the next holiday.

1 celery rib, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1/4 cup butter, cubed

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1/8 teaspoon rubbed sage

1/8 teaspoon pepper

3 cups cubed day-old bread

1 large egg, beaten

2/3 cup chicken broth

1 cup shucked oysters, drained and coarsely chopped

 

In a small skillet, sauté celery and onion in butter until tender; transfer to a large bowl.

Stir in the parsley, poultry seasoning, rubbed sage and pepper. Add bread cubes.

Mix egg, broth and oysters; add to bread mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Transfer to a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160° and stuffing is lightly browned
