Scallops Dijon

Normaone's Note:

I found this in our local paper years ago. It is very easy to put together and can easily be doubled or tripled. It would make a nice first course or, coupled with some pasta or rice, a nice and light dinner.

I have found that cooking scallops at home is hit or miss. This recipe definately brought my cooking-confidence up though! I didn't have heavy cream so I used plain greek yogurt...wonderful!

The taste was over powering, scallops are a very light seafood and to me the mustard took all flavor away from the scallop. Sorry but I didn't care to much for this one.

This was delicious ! I had frozen scallops, 10-14 per pound -- so they must have been larger than described, since "30 seconds" twice would never have cooked them !! DH and I each had 4, which was a perfect portion. I think the 4 -5 minutes total cooking time would cover this size. Thanks, Norma - great recipe.
