ingredients
- 12 medium sea scallops
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces mixed mushrooms, chopped
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 cup freshly grated comte cheese
directions
- Blot and dry the sea scallops.
- Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Sear the scallops on both sides for about 1-2 minutes per side, flipping once. When easily lifted with a pair of cooking tongs, transfer to a plate.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown and soften, about 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the shallots and garlic and cook until the shallots are tender. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms mixture and cook stirring constantly for 1 minute. Deglaze the skillet with the wine, stirring to loosen any bits that stock to the skillet.
- Stir in the cream and oregano and bring to a simmer. Return the scallops and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Return to a simmer and remove the skillet from the heat.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Evenly divide among four shallow stoneware dishes.
- Nestle 3 scallops into each dish. Sprinkle each dish with some of the Comte cheese. Broil until the cheese is browned and bubbling, 3 minutes. Serve hot.
