Indulge in French-inspired scallops with creamy wine sauce, breadcrumb and cheese topping, broiled to perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lb bay scallops*
  • 1 cup dry white wine, nonalcoholic white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 6 oz mushrooms, sliced (2 cups)
  • 2 shallots or green onions, chopped (2 to 3 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)
  • 1 cup soft bread crumbs (about 1 1/2 slices bread)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Instructions:
  • Grease six 4-inch baking shells or ceramic ramekins with a touch of butter and place them in a 15x10x1-inch pan.
  • Place scallops, wine, parsley, and salt in a 3-quart saucepan. Add water to cover scallops. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 6 minutes until scallops are white.
  • Using a slotted spoon, take out the scallops; keep the flavorful liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer until reduced to 1 cup. Strain and set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it's bubbling. Sauté the mushrooms and shallots in the luscious butter for 5 to 6 minutes until they become tender and fragrant. Once done, transfer the flavorful mixture from the saucepan and set it aside.
  • In the same saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until smooth and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in flour until well combined. Gradually add reserved liquid, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add half-and-half, scallops, mushroom mixture, and 1/4 cup of cheese. Heat through before serving.
  • Combine bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl. Next, evenly distribute the scallop mixture among the baking shells. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and the buttered bread crumbs.
  • Preheat the broiler. Broil the baking shells with tops positioned 5 inches from the heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the crumbs are toasted.
