Ingredients
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 pound sea scallops
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Directions
  1. Bring broth, nutmeg and pepper to a boil over medium high heat. Add scallops and let the mixture return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the scallops are barely cooked, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove scallops to a bowl and cover loosely to keep warm. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  2. Preheat the broiler.
  3. In small saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over med heat until melted. Stir in ghe flour and cook, stirring, until the flour is no longer visible, about 15 seconds. Add cream and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Cook, stirring, until the mixture just starts to simmer and thicken, about 2 minutes. If the sauce seems to thick, add a bit more cooking liquid.
  4. Combine sauce and scallops, and toss to coat. Turn the mixture into a 1 quart gratin dish or shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and dot with the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
  5. Broil 4 inches from heat until golden to top, 2-4 minutes.
  6. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
