About Baked scallops with cheese

Baked Scallops With Cheese is a decadent seafood dish originating from Western and fusion cuisines, often featured in upscale dining. It combines tender scallops with a rich, creamy blend of cheeses, such as Parmesan and mozzarella, baked until golden and bubbly. Scallops are a nutrient-dense protein source, rich in vitamins B12 and D, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like selenium and zinc, promoting heart and brain health. However, the addition of cheese and butter contributes to higher saturated fat and calorie content, making this recipe more indulgent than everyday fare. Often enhanced with garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs, it brings a balance of savory flavors and textures. While offering some nutritional benefits, moderation is advised if you're mindful of caloric intake or cholesterol levels. This dish is a luxurious treat, perfect for celebrations or special occasions.
