Deb’s World Renown and Quite Famous Scalloped Oysters

1 pint oysters, drain juice (and reserve).
Stir 2 cups crushed saltines into 2/3 cup melted butter.
Put 1/3 mixture in baking dish (just enough to cover bottom).
Put 1/2 oysters in the dish on top of the cracker layer.     Drizzle 2 T. of Heavy Cream over the top.
Drizzle 2 T. of reserved oyster juice over the top.
Salt & pepper to taste.
Repeat layers.
Take remaining 1/3 of cracker crumbs and put on top, then dot the top with butter.  Place into a 350 degree oven until crackers appear quite brown.  Approximately 30 minutes.

This project is really inspiring me to try new recipes.  My former boss and current buddy from the Independent shared this recipe with me.  She always raved about it and so she should have!      It is delicious!  The luscious creaminess of the oysters when they are baked within the buttery cracker crumbs is too much to resist.  The oyster stew prepared by my dad on xmas eve use to be my favorite oyster dish, but this surpasses it.  My dad would of gone nuts for this. :)
