For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a 1/2 cup of crumbled cooked bacon or sausage to the mixture. Ensure the bread is thoroughly dried to prevent a mushy dressing. Toasting the bread cubes lightly in the oven before adding them to the mixture is a great way to dry them out. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The amount of salt may vary depending on the salinity of the oysters. Freshly shucked oysters are recommended for the best flavor, but high-quality jarred oysters can be substituted if necessary. Be sure to drain them well before adding to the stuffing. The dressing can be prepared a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
