Scalloped Oysters

Ingredients

  • Several Slices of Bread (both for toasting and for crumbling)
  • Butter (for toast, and extra for oysters)
  • Oysters
  • Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Mace or Cloves to taste

Directions

  1. Toast several slices of bread until they are quite brown, then butter each slice on both sides.
  2. Take out a baking dish, and put the toast around the sides.
  3. Pour oysters into baking dish and season to your taste with butter, pepper, salt, and mace or cloves.
  4. Crumble the extra bread onto the top of the oysters.
  5. Put the dish into the oven, and bake with "quick heat" for 15 minutes. Quick heat, in this case, means very high heat (close to broiling temperatures, so 450 Farenheit or above)
