| Ingredients: |
1 1/3 pounds fresh bay scallops

| Instructions: |
Serves 5-8 as an Appetizer, 4 as an Entree Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch baking dish. Place the scallops in a single layer in the baking dish. Squeeze lemon juice over all. Whisk together the butter and pesto in a small bowl. Add enough breadcrumbs to achieve a crumbly texture. Season to taste with salt. Spoon crumbs over scallops and bake just until bubbly - approximately 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. * To make the breadcrumbs, use a rustic loaf with a chewy soft crust, such as ciabatta. Cube with the crusts on and process briefly in a food processor. Dry the crumbs on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until dry - 10 - 15 minutes. |
