Oysters, Scalloped (Prepare the oysters)

Prepare the oysters as in the preceding recipe, and put them in a scallop-shell or saucer, and between each layer sprinkle over a few bread-crumbs, pepper, salt and grated nutmeg; place small pieces of butter over, and bake before the fire in a Dutch oven.

Put sufficient bread-crumbs on the top to make a smooth surface, as the oysters should not be seen.

TIME.-About hour.

SEASONABLE from September to April.
