🍗 Ina Garten Scallop Gratin Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 6 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium shallots, minced
• 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, minced
• 4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Pernod

• 6 tablespoons dry white wine
• 2-pound fresh bay scallops

🍲 How To Make Ina Garten Scallop Gratin

1. Set oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread out six 6-inch round gratin dishes on a baking pan.
2. In a bowl with an electric mixer (or a manual mixer) fitted with the paddle attachment, put the butter to make the topping.
3. Stir in the shallot, garlic, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper while the mixer is running on low speed.
4. Slowly add the olive oil while the mixer is still running on low as if you were making mayonnaise until everything is incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the panko, then set it aside.
5. Make sure the broiler is hot if it’s not already connected to your oven.
6. Pour a tablespoon of wine onto the base of each gratin dish. Slice each scallop lengthwise to expose the white muscle and membrane; discard.
7. Use paper towels to pat the scallops dry, and then divide them among the three dishes. Evenly distribute the garlic butter on top of the scallops using a spoon.
8. Bake the scallops for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the topping is brown and bubbling.
9. Broil the dishes for an additional two minutes, or until browned, if you desire a more substantial crust on the top.
10. Serve hot with a side of crusty French bread and garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
