This recipe for scalloped oysters was adapted from the 1881 Household Cyclopedia and modernized.

Ingredients

• 100 oysters, shucked
• 1 loaf bread, crumbed
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
• Salt, to taste
• Cayenne pepper, to taste
• Mace (optional)

Procedure

1. Chop the eggs very fine, and mix with the crumbs. Season with cayenne, salt, and mace.
2. Cover the bottom of a deep pie dish with the eggs and crumbs.
3. Use a fork to place a layer of oysters over the egg mixture, along with 2–3 small pieces of butter. Continue until all ingredients are used up, reserving sufficient crumbs for a final layer.
4. Bake 45 minutes at 375–400°F. Serve hot.
