- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons scallion finely chopped

Instructions
- Heat the whole milk in a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the milk begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes.

Notes
- Recipe Source: Southern Living
- This recipe works for either fresh or canned oysters. If using canned oysters, reserve 1/2 cup of oyster liquor from the can and add to the stew while cooking. The oyster liquor contains the natural juices from the oysters and can enhance the flavor.
- Use low to medium heat when cooking the stew to avoid scalding or curdling the milk. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Do not overcook the oysters, as they can become tough and rubbery. Cook just until the edges of the oysters start to curl and firm up.
