How to Make Bay Scallop Gratin Ina Garten Back To Basics

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the scallops, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  3. Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly for approximately 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the scallop mixture to the skillet and stir to combine.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
