Suzy's Scallops Florentine Review!





Suzy's Scallops Florentine
If you love scallops, this recipe is for you. I loved the texture that these were cooked to. The cream sauce over these scallops is so delicious. I used the large fresh scallops from HEB. Their fresh seafood is always so good. The spinach was from our garden and it was so tasty. I will make this dish again and again. I am going to

 be trying out several different recipes for scallops, as they are one of my favorite seafoods. 

Ingredients:

Rinse scallops

Pat dry
Put butter in dish and add scallops


Melt butter

Add flour

Add cream



 
Add cheese






Add spinach
(put spinach in micro for 10-15 seconds. 
It's easier toget it in the pan)


Pour spinach cream over scallops




Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top




Sprinkle bread crumbs over cheese


Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes



Remove from oven

Enjoy! 

  Recipe:

Original recipe makes 6 servings

         1 pound sea scallops
         3 tablespoons butter
         2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
         
2 cup heavy cream
        1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
         salt to taste
         ground black pepper to taste
         10 ounce fresh spinach-(more or less to taste)
          
      
         1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
         1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
       
**This recipe can be halved**

Directions

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie plate. I use a little butter but you can use olive oil also.

 Rinse the scallops and  pat dry. Place on the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  In a small saucepan, melt the butter, and stir in the flour. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes. 

Cook the spinach in the microwave for about 10  seconds.

  Whisk in heavy cream and 1/2 cup  fresh Parmesan cheese to the flour and butter .  Season with pepper to taste.  No salt needed.

 Stir in spinach. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly,  until thick.

  Pour the cream cheese over the scallops. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Then sprinkle bread crumbs.  
  
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.


I put the scallops over no yolk noodles but it is also 
delicious over rice.




I paired this with 
Tossed Romaine and Orange Salad
for a delicious meal. 

Enjoy!
