Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set an ovensafe rack on top.
- If the scallops have the side muscle attached, trim it away and discard it. Pat the scallops dry, then place in a bowl. Toss gently with the salt and pepper.
- Slice each piece of bacon lengthwise so that you have two long, thin strips. Place on the baking sheet and bake on the center rack for 4 minutes. They should be a little under halfway cooked and still pliable.
- When cool enough to handle, wrap a strip of bacon around the sides of each scallop, securing with a toothpick. Return the scallops to the rack atop the baking sheet.
- Place the pan back into the oven and bake until the scallops are cooked through (they should register at least 125°F on an instant read thermometer—don't let them go beyond 140°F or you risk them being rubbery) and the edges of the bacon are starting to lightly brown, about 5 to 7 minutes (the nature is the bacon won't get extra crispy unless the scallops get overcooked; you can choose your own priorities!).
- Transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
- TO STORE: This is a recipe that’s best eaten right away, but if you do have leftovers, you can refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- TO REHEAT: Warm bacon wrapped scallops in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
