25 minApple-scallop ramekins are the kind of fancy first course that makes dinner guests feel pampered.
Bay scallops get sautéed with apples, mushrooms, onions, and herbs, then folded into a creamy white sauce.
Spoon the mixture into buttered ramekins, top with buttery breadcrumbs, and broil until golden and bubbling.
Chef Tips
- Use Granny Smith apples for tartness that balances the sweet scallops
- Make the white sauce smooth by stirring constantly while it thickens
- Watch carefully under the broiler; breadcrumbs can go from golden to burnt in seconds
