Scallop Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Mince shallots, and saute in butter in hot heavy skillet.
• Toast the bread.
• When shallots have softened, about 3 minutes, add the wine, and cook over high heat to reduce the wine by half.
• Cut the crusts from the bread and cut each slice in half to form triangles. Arrange them on two dinner plates.
• When wine is reduced and almost syrupy, stir in the scallops, and cook one to two minutes, stirring often and watching carefully so they do not overcook. They are ready when they have just turned white.
• Add the Worcestershire, salt if needed and pepper. Spoon with all the juices over the toast and serve.

Steps:

• Combine bruschetta ingredients. This can be done several hours in advance. Set aside.
• Combine scallop ingredients and marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
• Grill scallops until done -- do NOT overcook. We use a pan with holes made for the grill, but can also put on k-bobs. Alternatively can sear inside in a skillet.
• Meanwhile, drizzle a SMALL amount of oil on bread slices and toast until golden and crispy. Can toast in toaster oven or on grill.
• Place one scallop on each toast slice. Top with bruschetta. Garnish with basil sprig.

Steps:

• Chop the scallops into small pieces then transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add the eggs, parsley, red onion, capers and mustard, and gently toss to coat. Season to taste with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Serve with toast points.

Steps:

• Tomatoes Mixture: Dice cherry tomatoes and red onions and add them to a small mixing bowl. Add parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt and oregano. Set aside.
• Spray olive oil on pan and cook scallops for about 4 minutes each side until both sides are browned.
• Toast breads and rub halved garlic on one side of each toasted bread, then discard garlic.
• Brush olive oil on bread (same side as the rubbed garlic) and add 'tomatoes mixture' on top (evenly on both breads).
• Place 2 grilled/cooked scallops on top each Bruschetta.
• Garnish with capers.
• Enjoy for lunch, entree or snack.

Steps:

• Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on one side of each piece of toasted Italian bread. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. When oil begins to smoke, pour scallops into pan. Cook for 30 seconds without stirring.
• Toss scallops in pan and stir in garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir wine and lemon juice into scallops, bring to a boil, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Stir parsley and cold butter into scallops and remove from heat. When butter melts, stir in salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Spoon scallops over buttered toast and serve immediately.
