6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Arrange the oyster and their juices in the dish, grate nutmeg over them, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the bacon and cheese, pour the cream over all, then cover with cracker crumbs and dot with butter.
