RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This dish combines two of the Chesapeake's most beloved foods: oysters and crabs. Cook on the bottom broiler rack, or breadcrumbs will burn before the oysters are cooked through.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled (drained)
  • 1 (6 1/2-ounce) can lump crabmeat, undrained
  • 1 (1-ounce) slice white bread
  • 1 teaspoon butter, melted
  • 12 shucked oysters
  • Lemon wedges (optional)
  • Fresh minced chives (optional)

wonderful! Once I figured out how to shuck the oysters, the rest was easy. My fish guy tells me I should wash the shells, run them through the dishwasher, let them dry well, and then store them in an airtight bag in my freezer so the next time I make this I can buy pre-shucked oysters and still be able to make a grande presentation.
