That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this oyster dressing recipe. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you decided to spice it up! Oyster dressing is a Classic Southern dish of seasoned bread - either breadcrumbs, cubed bread, or cornbread - mixed with lots of fresh oysters, softened vegetables, spices, and more, then baked or stuffed into a turkey or other fowl. It is also called “oyster stuffing”, popularly served at the holiday table in the Southern U.S., particularly New Orleans, though it can be served any time of the year. It’s certainly a Thanksgiving and Christmas favorite. I hope you enjoy it. Let’s talk about how to make oyster dressing, shall we?
Soft White Bread. I love French bread for oyster dressing, though any large loaf will do. Butter. Vegetables. Onion, celery, jalapeno peppers (or bell peppers for less spicy), garlic. Cajun Seasoning Blend. Try my homemade Cajun seasonings, or use Creole seasonings. Fresh Oysters. With their liquor. You can use canned oysters if needed. Chicken Broth. Eggs. Beaten. Grated Parmesan Cheese. Parsley. For flavor and garnish.
Cook the Vegetables. While the bread is drying out, cook the onions, peppers, and celery in a pan or large skillet to soften them up. Add the garlic, Cajun seasonings and salt and pepper. Cook another minute. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Boom! Done! Your oyster dressing is ready to serve. Easy enough to make, isn’t it? This the perfect side dish for holiday meals, but also Sunday family gatherings or down home cooking. Try it with some of these recipes:
