How to Make Baked Scallops With Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Sauté for 3 minutes.
  4. Add 8 oz (227g) sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons (28g) butter, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper.
  6. Cook on low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until a light roux forms.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese), 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  8. Return to medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, stirring frequently (about 5-7 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat. Gently stir in 1 pound (454g) sea scallops (cut into smaller pieces if large) and 1/4 cup dry white wine.
  11. Spoon the mixture into buttered scallop shells or small (about 1 cup) buttered baking dishes.
  12. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 2 tablespoons (28g) melted butter.
  13. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallop mixture in each dish.
  14. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
