Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ciabatta Crisps

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the ciabatta loaf into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Goat Cheese

    In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into small rounds or logs. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, place the warm goat cheese rounds, followed by the roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts. Top with the seared scallops. Drizzle with pesto sauce and serve with ciabatta crisps on the side.
