SCALLOP GRATIN
As far as I'm concerned, a simple gratin is the most delicious way to cook fresh scallops. The only real way to screw this recipe up would be to use the wrong scallops. And by wrong, I mean any scallops that have been soaked in a preservative brine. These are easy to identify, as they're usually sitting in a pool of milky liquid. What you want are usually sold as wild 'day-boat,' 'diver,' or 'dry-pack' scallops. They are really expensive, and worth every penny. Serve with French bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 6 (6-inch round) gratin dishes on a sheet pan.
- To make the topping, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer). With the mixer on low speed, add the garlic, shallot, prosciutto, parsley, lemon juice, Pernod, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. With the mixer still on low, add the olive oil slowly as though making mayonnaise, until combined. Fold the panko in with a rubber spatula and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler, if it's separate from your oven.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the wine in the bottom of each gratin dish. With a small sharp knife, remove the white muscle and membrane from the side of each scallop and discard. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and distribute them among the 3 dishes. Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the top of the scallops. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the topping is golden and sizzling and the scallops are barely done. If you want the top crustier, place the dishes under the broiler for 2 minutes, until browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty French bread.

SCALLOPED POTATOES AU GRATIN
My mom made scalloped potatoes this way, and I love the recipe because it always tastes great. You don't have to add seasonings and you will always have a consistent product. Turn it into a main dish by adding ham slices to bottom of pan or ham pieces layered in.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality scallops. Frozen scallops can be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Sear the scallops before baking. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Use a light hand with the bread crumbs. Too many bread crumbs can make the dish dry and heavy.
- Use a flavorful cheese. A good-quality Gruyère, Parmesan, or cheddar cheese will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Serve the scallops immediately. They are best when they are hot and bubbly.
