Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb bay scallops*
  • 1 cup dry white wine, nonalcoholic white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 6 oz mushrooms, sliced (2 cups)
  • 2 shallots or green onions, chopped (2 to 3 tablespoons)
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)
  • 1 cup soft bread crumbs (about 1 1/2 slices bread)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Steps

  • 1
    Lightly grease six 4-inch baking shells or ceramic ramekins** with butter. Place in 15x10x1-inch pan.
  • 2
    In 3-quart saucepan, place scallops, wine, parsley and salt. Add just enough water to cover scallops. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered about 6 minutes or until scallops are white.
  • 3
    Remove scallops with slotted spoon; reserve liquid. Heat reserved liquid to boiling. Boil until reduced to 1 cup. Strain and reserve.
  • 4
    In same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and shallots in butter 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender. Remove from saucepan.
  • 5
    In same saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Gradually stir in reserved liquid. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in half-and-half, scallops, mushroom mixture and 1/4 cup of the cheese; heat through.
  • 6
    In small bowl, toss bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Divide scallop mixture among baking shells. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and the bread crumbs.
  • 7
    Set oven control to broil. Broil baking shells with tops 5 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until crumbs are toasted.

  • Coquilles is French for “shell” or “scallop.” Look for cleaned authentic or porcelain look-alike scallop shells in kitchenware or gourmet food shops; both can be used in the oven.
