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

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.

Preheat the broiler.

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.

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.

Broil 4 inches from heat until golden to top, 2-4 minutes.

Garnish with parsley, if desired.
