Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Chive Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the butter and chopped chives. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the scallops in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of the sautéed mushrooms, top with seared scallops, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Add a dollop of chive butter on top of the scallops before serving.
