Not Ya Mama's Oyster Dressing brings Gulf Coast flavors to the table with tender oysters folded into buttery aromatics, herbs, and a hint of cayenne. The bread crumbs soak up briny oyster liquor, while a Parmesan finish bakes to a golden, savory crust. Serve it alongside holiday roasts or at any celebration where rich, seafood-forward dressing shines.

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish.
2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until combined. Gently fold in oysters; cook, stirring often, until the edges of the oysters start to curl, about 8 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs and the reserved oyster liquid until fully combined. Spoon the dressing into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
