Ingredients

  • 12 large scallops
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the 12 scallops dry and arrange them in a single layer in a lightly oiled baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tbsp olive oil until well combined.

  3. 3

    Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallops, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the scallops are opaque and just firm to the touch.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
