Steps:
- In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter until they begin to be translucent but not browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside.
- Dry scallops with a paper towel and slice them in half,horizontally. Season scallops with salt and pepper and lightly dust in flour,removing any excess.
- In another skillet (or you can use the same one after removing sauteed shallots), drizzle a bit more oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Sear scallops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour wine into the same skillet with the scallops and add thyme, bay leaf and shallot mixture and continue cooking until wine is reduced,for another 2-3 minutes.
- Divide scallops into shallow ovenproof dishes and spoon sauce over. I like using a shallow ramekins that would normally be used for creme brulee, but work perfectly for this. Top with Gruyere cheese and doteach ramekin with butter.
- Right before serving, place ramekins under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese is just melted and serve.

CREAMY BAY SCALLOP SPAGHETTI
This scallop and spaghetti dinner with a creamy sauce is fast and easy. I cook the scallops a bit longer than many chefs, but that's gives the dish more flavor and they're still tender and moist. I think you'll agree, the sherry sauce benefits significantly from the longer cook time.

Steps:

- Return scallops to the saute pan and spoon sauce over them; continue warming to your liking. Do not boil at any time.
- Serve with anglehair pasta or rice. I like soba noodles.

Tips:
- To ensure the scallops are cooked evenly throughout, make sure they are all roughly the same size.
- Sear the scallops in a hot pan to create a golden crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a combination of butter and olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops, as this will cause them to steam rather than sear.
- Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and firm to the touch.
- To make the Swiss cheese sauce, use a good quality Swiss cheese that melts well.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cream to the cheese sauce to prevent it from curdling.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
- Serve the scallops immediately with the Swiss cheese sauce, garnished with chopped parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Scallops in Swiss Cheese Sauce is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.
