1 pt. oysters (stewing size)
2 c. medium-coarse cracker crumbs
6 tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 c. light cream
1/4 c. oyster liquid
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt

Drain oysters; reserve 1/4 cup liquid. Combine crumbs and butter. Spread 1/3 crumbs in greased 8x1 1/4 inch baking dish. Cover with 1/2 the oysters. Sprinkle with pepper. Spread another 1/3 crumbs; cover with remaining oysters. Sprinkle with pepper.

Combine all other ingredients. Pour over oyster layers. Top with last of crumbs.

Bake at 350°F about 40 minutes.

NOTE: I add extra milk and crackers and use a little less butter. I always double this recipe for holidays.
