Baked Scallops Gratin

“This dish came together in no time. You simply combine the scallops with olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and garlic, spoon them into a gratin dish, top with breadcrumbs and dot with small knobs of butter and bake.” Cherine

Ingredients:

2 tablespoon olive oil

1pound (450 g) bay scallops, patted dry

3 large cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC).

Lightly spray the gratin dish with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, bay scallops.

Season with salt and pepper.

Using a slotted spoon place the scallops into the gratin dish, top with the breadcrumbs and the 

butter.

Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and sizzling, and the scallops are just 

barely done.

For a crispier top, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes.

Remove from oven.

Serve immediately with baguettes slices and some lemon wedges.

Serves 4 as appetizer.
