Oyster Bread Stuffing (Dressing) pairs briny, tender oysters with aromatic celery, onion, and herbs woven through toasty bread crumbs. The eggs create a custardy interior while the top bakes up crisp and golden, offering a rich ocean note against warm poultry seasoning and thyme. Serve it alongside roasted turkey or holiday roasts when you want a classic coastal twist on traditional stuffing.

1

Set the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
2

Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery and the onion; cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes.
3

Stir in the bread crumbs and the parsley, then remove from the heat. Mix in the oysters, eggs, salt, poultry seasoning, thyme, and pepper. Add enough reserved oyster liquid to moisten the mixture, stirring until well combined.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
