Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh scallops
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 units Shallots, finely chopped
• 125 milliliters Dry white wine
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 100 grams Gruyère cheese, grated
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 25 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the white wine to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Gently place the scallops into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the scallops are just opaque. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Spoon the scallops and sauce into oven-safe ramekins or scallop shells, dividing evenly among them.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Gruyère cheese together. Melt the remaining 25 grams of butter and drizzle it over the breadcrumb mixture. Add the olive oil and stir to combine.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallops in the ramekins or shells.

Step 10

Place the ramekins or shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Coquilles St Jacques with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
