    Scallops with Bacon & Maple Cream Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 cups heavy cream
    1/3 cup pure maple syrup
    1 1/2 TB Dijon mustard
    1/2 teas nutmeg
    1 1/2 lbs bay scallops
    1 lb sliced, maple-cured bacon
    2 TB freshly chopped chives or minced fresh parsley

    Combine cream and maple syrup in saucepan. Bring just to a boil, then simmer until almost reduced by half (about 15 to 20 minutes).

    Stir in mustard, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer a few more minutes and remove from heat.

    Cut bacon slices so they wrap once around each scallop. Wrap the scallops in bacon. Place in rows on a broiling pan. (If making ahead refrigerate sauce and scallops up to 8 hours.)

    Preheat broiler.

    Warm cream sauce over medium-low heat.

    Broil scallops 4 to 5 inches from the heat until bacon is brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.

    Transfer the hot scallops using toothpicks to a shallow serving dish. Pour maple cream sauce over, sprinkle with chives. Serve at once.

    Note: For a more formal first course, serve 5 or 6 scallops (without toothpicks) on a plate in a pool of the maple cream sauce for each person.
