How to Make Bacon Wrapped Scallops With Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place 6 slices of bacon in an ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until partially cooked and lightly browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. While the bacon is baking, prepare the scallops. Gently pat 12 large sea scallops dry with paper towels.
  4. Wrap each scallop with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  5. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 8 minutes, or until the cream has reduced to ¾ cup.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon salt. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the bacon-wrapped scallops on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the scallops are firm, opaque, and the bacon is crispy.
  10. Serve the scallops immediately, drizzled generously with the maple cream sauce.
