Scallop Gratin

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

2 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons melted butter, or as needed, divided
¼ cup creme fraiche
¼ cup white wine
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
8 dry-pack sea scallops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Brush 2 small gratin dishes with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

Step 2
Whisk creme fraiche, white wine, lemon zest, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Place scallops in sauce and toss to coat; let sit until flavors begin to blend, about 5 minutes. Divide scallops between prepared gratin dishes and pour remaining creme fraiche sauce over the top. Top with tarragon and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle remaining butter over the top.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. Increase oven setting to broil and continue cooking until scallops are golden brown, slightly springy, and opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more.
