Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp and scallops until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mushrooms and Peas

    In the same skillet, add more butter and sauté the shiitake mushrooms until soft. Stir in the peas and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Mornay Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Duchess Potatoes

    Pipe the duchess potatoes onto a baking sheet and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Fried Bread

    Fry the slices of French bread in a pan with a little butter until golden and crispy on both sides.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving dish, layer the sautéed seafood, mushrooms, and peas. Pour the Mornay sauce over the top and serve with the baked duchess potatoes and fried bread on the side.
