Enjoy!

“Coquilles Saint Jacques is the French word for scallops. It always held a bit of mystery to me and it took a try to make it and quite the opposite happened: Super easy to make. Nothing more delightful than tender scallops, or bay scallops, nestled in a bed of mushrooms, cream, and wine topped with bubbly cheese under the broiler. The individual gratin dish makes for a dramatic table presentation.” - Giangi
