Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken broth shopping list
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg shopping list
- 1/4 tsp pepper shopping list
- 1 pound sea scallops shopping list
- 2 tbsp butter shopping list
- 1 tbsp flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese shopping list
- 1 tbsp seasoned breadcrumbs shopping list
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
