I love the French recipe Coquilles St. Jacques, which I often bake and serve in beautiful scallop shells. Yet the traditional recipe is time-consuming, so I created an easy Baked Scallops dish perfect for any night of the week.

 

Loving scallops means finding fun new ways to bake them at home. This casserole has all the flavors of the French original, without the excessive time to prepare. My easy baked scallops make for a delicious weekday meal, perfect for two people.  Prepare the casserole in the morning, then bake it at night. You’ll have a wonderful fresh dinner in 20 minutes.

I’ve included links to my favorite ingredients when possible, but feel free to use any brand you love. I also recommend this KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer for a great cooking experience.
