Baked Scallops With Mushrooms And Bechamel Recipes

BAKED MUSHROOM AND SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a skillet over high heat and saute the scallops until lightly browned and not cooked through, about 1 minute per side.
• (Over-sauteeing them will cause them to be tough, so avoid the temptation.) Transfer mixture to a greased glass baking dish.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining butter, and saute the mushrooms, onion, and garlic for 3 minutes.
• Add the wine and reduce by half, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
• Be SURE not to let the mixture burn.
• Add the half-and-half, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and pour over the scallops.
• Add the cooked rice and stir to combine.
• Bake covered in a preheated 350F oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
• Serve garnished with chopped herbs.

BAKED SCALLOPS WITH MUSHROOMS AND BECHAMEL

Steps:

• Boil the scallop shells in a pot of water for a few minutes. Set aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme, ham, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then simmer until the mushrooms release their moisture and are tender for 5 to 10 minutes. Melt your remaining butter in another saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, mixing well. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk. Return to the heat, stirring constantly, and simmer until thickened for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir into the mushroom mixture. Place the scallops back in the shells. Spoon some mushroom and bechamel mixture over each scallop. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake the scallops for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown. Serve hot.

BAKED SCALLOPS AND MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the scallops in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and reserve both the stems and caps. Brush a shallow (8- to 9-inch diameter) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Toss the scallops with the flour and arrange them with the mushroom caps in a single layer in the dish. Pour the wine into the dish along the edge. Finely chop the mushroom stems and mix them with the bread crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, pepper flakes and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops and mushrooms. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
• 3. Bake in the heated oven until the mushrooms are soft and scallops are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
• 4. To reheat, loosely cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
