This is another delicious way to enjoy fresh scallops. We use “mornay” sauce which is just a bechamel sauce with the addition of cheese. Also if available this dish may be presented in scallop shells. If the shells are not available, just us a gratin dish.

 

  • Follow the directions to make the mornay sauce.
  • Coat the bottom of a gratin dish or casserole dish with some mornay sauce.
  • Sprinkle with white wine.
  • Place the scallops in one layer, season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Place the mushrooms all around.
  • Cover scallops and mushrooms with bread crumbs and butter,
  • Bake in a preheated  400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with lemon and serve.
