2 cups milk.

1 1/2 pints small oysters.

1 teaspoon chopped celery.

1 tablespoon chopped parsley.

2/3 cup cracher crumbs.

(I tried this recipe in the toaster oven and it turned out quite well. I used 1/2 teaspoon of celery seed in place of the chopped celery because I didn't happen to have celery on hand, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of parsley flakes. I was expecting the taste to be a bit bland, but was pleasantly surprised.)
