Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
-
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to make a roux.
-
Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
-
Gently fold the shucked oysters into the sauce, trying to keep them whole.
-
Pour the oyster mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.
-
Scatter the breadcrumbs over the filling to add a crispy texture to the pie.
-
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Once baked, remove the Oyster Pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
