Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Drain the oysters, saving the liquor.
Combine the oyster liquor with enough half and half to make 1½ cups.
Set aside.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy 9 or 10 inch skillet over moderate heat.
Add the mushrooms, and cook, uncovered for about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Remove the mushrooms to a platter and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and melt 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter in the skillet.
Blend in the flour, and cook for 1 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the oyster liquor and half and half mixture, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens -- about 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Add the oysters, the cooked mushrooms and any accumulated liquid, and the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 8-inch glass or ceramic pie plate.
Sprinkle with the bread crumbs, and dot with the last tablespoon of butter.
Bake, uncovered, until the crumbs are browned--about 10 minutes.
