Scallops with a Herb &
Parmesan Crust
Scallops with a herb and parmesan crust.


Instructions:

Place the scallops in their shells onto a heavy based baking tray.

 

Pre-heat the grill to medium

 

Add the bread, parsley, spring onion chunks, garlic, lemon zest, parmesan cheese and pepper to a food processor and blend until a breadcrumb consistency.

 

Divide the breadcrumb mixture equally across the top of each scallop.  Spray lightly with the rapeseed oil.

 

Place under the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and the scallops are cooked.

 

Serve straight away with a mixed green salad.

 

NB: I have not used salt in this recipe as the parmesan cheese will take care of that!
