How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops Served On Creamy Brie Sauce
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Partially cook 12 slices of bacon until slightly crispy. Set aside.
- Wrap each of 12 large sea scallops with a slice of partially cooked bacon. Secure with toothpicks.
- For the sauce: In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon bacon drippings over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk and bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into cubes, until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
- In a shallow dish, place 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Dip each bacon-wrapped scallop in the breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are coated. Gently press to adhere.
- Place scallops in the heated skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until scallops are cooked through.
- Spoon some brie sauce onto each plate.
- Top with the cooked bacon-wrapped scallops.
- Garnish with paprika or chopped chives.
