Scallops baked with lemon and butter, topped with a mixture of green onions, thyme, bread crumbs and Parmesan and then browned under the broiler. A delicious combination of sweet scallops enhanced with lemon juice and a savory crumb topping. The recipe is missing a step as to when to add the green onions, but it seemed logical to use them to top the baked scallops before adding the crumb mixture. The next time, I won't soak the scallops in milk, I think they lost a bit a flavor as a result. Thanks Bergy, this goes to the top of my list for scallop recipes.

This was delicious! I did not soak in the milk, per the previous members comments it didn't seem necessary. I used panko bread crumbs...I did have to bake a little longer, but not much. I served with Vegetable Orzo. Mmmm!

WEll, i'm eating these as we speak and they are great. I love the flavor and so do my kids. I left out the thyme though. Thanks

The scallop falvor was fantastic, their texture enhanced by the lemon juice and their flavor enhanced by both the lemon juice and grren onions. The green onions are a must here. This dish was very simple to make. I didn't soak the scallops at all. This is simply the best scallop dish i've tasted in a very long time, and i grew up by the sea. Great Job!
