Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Scallops

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gratin

    In a baking dish, layer the cooked scallops. Pour the cream mixture over the scallops, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on top, followed by the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, melted.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
