stevasaurus 22,700 #7 Posted March 4, 2014 Ed...can you post the recipe for that oyster pie. That looks absolutely fantastic...I would like to try it...thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,007 #8 Posted March 5, 2014 Her Ya go. UMMA's OYSTER PIE Lightly grease a 9" Pyrex pie plate with butter. 2 pie crusts we use the pre made Pillsbury Brand Lay in the bottom pie crust. 1 pint oysters selects or standards Spread 1/2 cup of crushed saltines in the bottom 1/2 cup crushed saltines Add 2 cups of thin sliced 1/4" thick undercooked potatoes. Pre boiled and well drained. 2 cups potatoes pre cooked well drained Add 1 pint of Select Oysters with juice. 3 hard boiled eggs Add 3 sliced hard boiled eggs. 1/2 stick butter Spread 1/2 stick of butter pats over the pie. Install top crust. Crimp and seal crusts and cut slits to vent steam. Bake @400F for ten minutes; lower heat to 375F and bake until crust is lightly browned. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4 salt and pepper to taste some like celery salt I usually buy my oysters by the 1/2 gallon to make 3 pies, so after slurping a few raws, I divide the remaining in the 3 pies. So I have 1 pint + in each pie. I have a few guests that like the pie, but will not eat the oysters. Another tip.... try to arrange the seating so these guests are close to you so You end up with their oysters. ENJOY ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,700 #9 Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks Ed...I will be trying this recipe out. Just a thought...have you tried adding Parmasian under the top crust. Just wondering if you guys have tried some variations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,007 #10 Posted March 5, 2014 Never tried the cheese Steve, sounds good. I do recommend a couple glasses of Café Zinfadel to keep the cook hydrated while baking. Don't forget the home made vanilla ice cream topped with the warm home made blackberry jam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,700 #11 Posted March 5, 2014 I was just thinking about some of the ways you can order oysters at places like oyster bars and that one of those pies made up like that might be pretty darn good. BTW...that is a good choice on the wine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv 919 #12 Posted March 6, 2014 Darn it, you had to go and do it. Made me hungry and I just ate a little while ago. Enjoy. I just love it when the family gets together like yours does.
