Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Cup celery, minced
• 1 Cup onion, minced
• 8 Cups dry bread crumbs
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 3 Cups oysters, drained
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) poultry seasoning
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Pinch fresh sage, minced (optional)
• 1 Pinch fresh rosemary, minced (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onion, sautéing until they are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the bread crumbs and fresh parsley.
4. Gently fold in the oysters and whisked eggs. Season the mixture with salt, poultry seasoning, thyme, and ground black pepper. If using, add the fresh sage and rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
5. Gradually add the reserved oyster liquid, stirring until the mixture is moist but not soggy. If desired, add chicken broth for additional moisture.
6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the dressing to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a flavorful side dish to your holiday meal.
