CORNBREAD OYSTER DRESSING

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 ounces fat-back pork, cut into 1/4-inch cubes, or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large onions, peeled and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
4 stalks celery, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
3 cups crumbled cornbread
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
24 freshly shucked oysters, medium size (preferably Blue Points) with their juice
2 tablespoons crushed, dried sage leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat the cubed fat-back or oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot add the diced onions and saute until they become translucent. To the onions add the sliced celery and continue to cook 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
In a bowl combine the eggs and milk. Add the crumbled cornbread, the oysters and their juices, the cooked onion and celery, sage, salt and pepper. Coat the sides of a baking dish with the butter. Pour the cornbread-oyster stuffing into the dish, and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool several minutes before serving.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh oysters. If you can't find fresh oysters, frozen oysters will work just fine.
Be sure to drain the oysters well before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the dressing from becoming too watery.
If you don't have any celery on hand, you can use chopped green bell pepper instead.
To make the dressing even more flavorful, you can add a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or thyme.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cornbread crumbs instead of making your own.

Conclusion:

Cornbread oyster dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover cornbread and oysters, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give cornbread oyster dressing a try.
