Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bay scallops, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 2 ounces raclette cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons dried bread crumbs (or panko)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 450℉/232℃.
  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet over high heat.
  3. Cook the scallops just until cooked through (~1 min).
  4. Season with salt and pepper and drain.
  5. Combine the crème fraîche, raclette, 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Fold in the scallops.
  7. Divide the mixture between four 8 oz. ovenproof ramekins.
  8. Toss the remaining 2 tablespoons of crumbs with the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the ramekins.
  9. Drizzle the melted butter over the tops and place on a small baking sheet.
  10. Bake until bubbling and golden (~15-20 mins).
  11. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

  • You can often find crème fraîche at the grocery store, but you can also make it yourself with this recipe, here.
  • You can use Gruyère instead of raclette, if you wish, and it will still be superb.
  • If you're feeding more than four, this recipe can be doubled. At that point, a single au gratin dish may be your best bet.
  • Cut this in half and you have coquilles for two!
