Next, add the oyster juice to a large measuring cup. Add the juice of one lemon, the whipping cream, and worshestershire sauce. Stir together.

Layer the Baked Oyster Casserole

Grease your baking dish and add the creamed corn to the bottom.

Next, add half of the oysters to the top of the corn. Then, add half of the cracker mixture over the oysters.

Then, you will add a second layer. Spread the remaining oysters over the crackers. Then, add the remaining cracker, butter, and onion mixture over the top.

Finally, pour the oyster juice mixture evenly over the oyster corn casserole layers.

Add Parmesan Crust to the Casserole

Finally, add the parmesan crust to the baked oyster casserole.

Sprinkle a light coating of panko over the top of the casserole. Then, add a layer of shaved parmesan cheese.

Cover the Oyster Casserole with aluminum foil and bake in a pre-heated 400-degree oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake the oyster casserole for another 25 minutes. Check to be sure the baked oysters don’t burn or scorch.
