Scalloped Oysters

Drain oysters, reserving 1/2 cup oyster liquor (liquid from oyster container).

Place cracker crumbs in a large mixing bowl; sprinkle evenly with salt. Drizzle butter over crumbs, tossing to combine.

Whisk together 1/2 cup reserved oyster liquor, half-and-half, and Worcestershire sauce.

Place one-third crumb mixture evenly in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish; top with half of oysters. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour half of cream mixture evenly over oysters. Repeat layers, ending with crumb mixture.

Cover and chill at least 8 hours.

Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
