Smoked Oyster Pâté

This smoked oyster pâté is so easy to make. All you need is a can of smoked oysters and a few ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and refrigerator. This smoked oyster pâté is a great make-ahead appetizer for a cocktail or dinner party. It's easy to throw together too. Along with canned smoked oysters, all you need is some cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (I used Tapatío), garlic, scallions, parsley, salt and pepper. Serve this oyster pâté on freshly sliced or toasted baguette slices for an appetizer. Your guests will devour it. Even your oyster haters might just like this dish.
