Scallop and Mushroom Gratin image

This is a delicious recipe that I found in a Culinary Institute of America cookbook. It's quick and easy enough to qualify for 'after-work friendly', my favorite kinds of recipes!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
3/4 lb mushroom, sliced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 lbs sea scallops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon minced shallot
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°.
  • Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and when it stops foaming, add the mushrooms and saute until they are tender and any juices they release have cooked away, about 5 minutes; transfer to an ovenproof dish and spread in an even layer, then top with the tomatoes; arrange the scallops on the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring about a 1/2 inch of water to a simmer in a large saucepan; mixtogether the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon water, wine and shallots in a stainless steel mixing bowl; set the bowl over the simmering water and whisk constantly until a thick foam forms, about 8 minutes; remove the bowl from the heat, fold in the sour cream and mustard and spoon over the scallops.
  • Place dish in the oven and bake until the scallops are nearly cooked through, about 6-8 minutes; if the top is not browned, broil the scallops just long enough to make the top golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve at once.
