Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. If you have scallop shells for baking, spritz them with some vegetable spray, place on a baking sheet and set aside. If you're not using scallop shells, use a ceramic baking dish that will fit the scallops in a single layer without crowding and lightly spray with vegetable spray. Set aside.
- Tear the sourdough bread into chunks and add it to the bowl of a mini prep food processor. Pulse several times until you have breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Heat a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crisped and fat has rendered. Transfer the pancetta to a dish lined with paper towels. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the rendered fat and discard the rest. Add the shallots and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan. Saute until the shallots are softened and translucent. Add the white wine and vermouth and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, pancetta and parsley to the shallot mixture and toss to coat.
- Place 1-2 scallops in each of the scallop shells or lay them in the baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the scallops.
- Add one teaspoon of butter to the remaining breadcrumbs in the food processor and pulse 3-4 times until butter is incorporated with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the scallops.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the scallops are cooked to desired doneness. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
