Ingredients:
1. Oysters
The star ingredient of this dish, oysters add a unique and briny flavor to the dressing. Make sure to use fresh, shucked oysters for the best results.
2. Bread
Bread is the base of any dressing, and for this recipe, it is recommended to use day-old French bread or sourdough. The bread will soak up the flavors of the other ingredients and add a nice texture to the dish.
3. Celery and Onion
These two vegetables are a must in any dressing recipe. They add a savory and aromatic flavor to the dish, and when sautéed in butter, they create a delicious base for the dressing.

Poultry seasoning is a blend of herbs and spices that enhances the flavor of any poultry dish. It typically includes sage, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary, all of which pair perfectly with the oysters in this dressing.
5. Chicken Broth
For added moisture and flavor, chicken broth is used to bind the ingredients together. You can use homemade or store-bought broth, but make sure it is not too salty, as the oysters will add a natural saltiness to the dish.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, and add diced celery and onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, tear the bread into small pieces and add the sautéed vegetables, oysters, and poultry seasoning.
4. Gradually pour chicken broth over the mixture and stir until well combined.
5. Transfer the dressing mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is crispy and golden brown.
