Instructions

Prepare the Scallops:

- Remove and discard the tough white muscle from each scallop, if present.
- Pat the scallops dry with kitchen paper and set aside.

Make the Sauce:
-
- In a medium pan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the white wine, followed by the fish stock, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
- Take the pan off the heat again and stir in the cream and egg yolks. Season to taste and set aside.
-
-
Prepare the Crumb Topping:
-
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, thyme leaves, and lemon zest. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
-
Assemble the Dish:
-
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6.
- Arrange three scallops in each scallop shell or ramekin, then place the shells on a large baking tray.
- Spoon the prepared sauce evenly over the scallops, then sprinkle with the crumb topping.
-
-
Bake:
-
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
-
-
Serve
-
- Serve the scallops immediately, ideally accompanied by buttery mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
