Scallop Morney

For making scallops mornay, choose the meaty scallops. Actually i purchase 12 live scallop for about 2 USD for each of it with a good expectation of meaty scallop muscle underneath the shell. Unfortunately i’ve got 1 ruined or dead scallop and rather small meat and shell ratio for the rest of it. . That’s why i use 2 scallops on each shell. You can see there’s 2 bulging scallop under the melted cheese on the photograph. Btw, if you like, you should keep the yellowish scallop roe becauce it’s edible too.

Succulent Scallop with Melted Mozarella Cheese and Fragrant Herbs

Homemade scallop mornay can use any cheese within the recipe, but i suggest you to use young cheese because it can melt easily during the baking process. Instead of using an oven, you can cooked the dish using a torch flame too. Just make sure you torched the scallop first, then add the mozarella cheese and torched it again to melt the cheese. Always boil the scallop shell prior to flame torching first to desinfected it whenever you’re not baked it
