👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the scallops: If using scallop shells, clean them thoroughly. If using gratin dishes, ensure they are ready. Pat the scallops completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for a good sear and to prevent them from becoming rubbery. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Poach the scallops: In a small saucepan, combine the white wine and 50ml of the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Add the scallops and poach for just 1-2 minutes, until they turn opaque. Do not overcook. Remove the scallops with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reserve the poaching liquid.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Sauté aromatics and mushrooms: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and cook until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Make the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and shallot mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the reserved poaching liquid and the remaining 150ml of heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 5
Assemble the coquilles: Place 3 poached scallops into each cleaned scallop shell or gratin dish. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the scallops, ensuring they are well covered.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 6
Top and gratinée: In a small bowl, combine the grated Gruyère cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sauce-covered scallops in each shell. Place the filled shells on a baking sheet. Broil on the upper rack of your oven for 2-4 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 7
Serve immediately: Carefully remove the hot shells from the oven. Garnish with a little extra fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately as an elegant appetizer.
⏱️ 1 minute
💡 專業提示
- ✓Ensure scallops are very dry before poaching to prevent them from releasing excess water.
- ✓Do not overcook the scallops; they should be just opaque. They will cook further under the broiler.
- ✓The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable. Adjust with a little more cream or poaching liquid if needed.
- ✓Scallop shells can often be found at specialty kitchen stores or seafood markets. If unavailable, small individual gratin dishes work perfectly.
- ✓Watch the broiler closely as the topping can burn quickly.
