Scallop Gratin

Scallop Gratin offers tender sea scallops baked under a creamy mixture of cream cheese, white wine, lemon, and fresh tarragon. The dish is finished with shaved Parmesan cheese and a touch of cayenne pepper, then broiled briefly to develop a golden crust. This preparation highlights the delicate texture and mild sweetness of scallops complemented by a bright, tangy, and herb-infused sauce that crisps lightly on top.
