I need a cornbread oyster dressing for the holiday.?

Question

I need a good cornbread oyster dressing recipe. I can make good cornbread dressing but I want to do something different this year. I am going to make a small pan since everyone might not like oyster dressing. Please share your favorite recipe and not something that you found on a cooking site. I want a true tested recipe. Thank you .

I also need to know if the oysters have to be pre-cooked or not before adding it to my dressing.

Answer 1

Depends on how much you are making. We always use cornbread & a bag of dry bread cubes, onion, celery, 1 or 2 raw eggs, a stick of melted butter/margarine, chicken broth & oyster liquid, plenty of oysters cut in half or so. I live in Louisiana & was once told that a real oyster dressing doesn't have cornbread in it so this year I'm going to try one with a loaf of stale French bread that you break up & soak in the oyster liquid & then squeeze out. There is also a bunch of green onions, a medium onion, garlic, parsley, sprig of thyme, 2 eggs, butter or margarine & salt & pepper. I like mine pretty moist.

Answer 2

Hey Ya'll, I just add the oysters to my regular dressing recipe also like Miss Georgia Peaches. For the small pan just add the oyster instead of the chicken or turkey. Sometimes I use other seafood like shrimp or crawfish.

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!!!

Bake at 400 degrees until brown (about 30 minutes). May be made ahead of time and refrigerated.

Answer 4

Just add the oysters to your cornbread dressing. I usually add them half way through baking my dressing.

Happy Holidays!!!
