I made a few alterations to make the recipe relatively fat-free, and a little hotter. It was fantastic!! Egg Beaters instead of the egg and water, Garlic Fat Free Wegmans bread crumbs, lemon juice, jarred minced garlic and I Can't believe its not Butter" Spray. My husband raved! Said it was "pretty rich". If he'd only known how much I cheated on the recipe he said sounded awesome. Thank you, for such a great basis for many dishes to come! -
5 star all the way I dashed 3 times with the cayenne and instead of using the whole egg I used just the white with the water. I cut the butter back to2 tbsp ( I would have loved it with 4 tbsp I'm sure but I try to cut a bit here and a bit there)Easy tasty recipe that we will enjoy again Thanks Barbara -
Kat, Since scallops came in all sizes, I would give the the small ones around 6-8 minutes and the largest around 25-30 minutes. Cook them until they are opaque clear through. Barb

This is one of the easiest recipes I've ever made, and it tastes fabulous! I added lemon sprinkled over the scallops after the melted butter before I baked them. This recipe is a definite "keeper". -
This was an excellent dish. So easy to make. I added a few dashes of hot sauce to the eggs (mainly because I add a few dashes of hot sauce to everything!) Loved it.

Abolutely wonderful recipe! I served this with Alfredo Sauce (recipe #8494)over pasta and it was a hit! The only change I made was heat (people with sensitive tummies): Instead of pepper and cayenne I used Mrs. Dash gently shaking the seasoning over the crumbs and stirring it in each time before dredging with the scallops. It was fantastic!

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
