Simple Baked and Breaded Scallops

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Bay or sea scallops
  • 1-1/2 cups Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 4 tbsp Butter melted
  • Salt and fresh-ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 385° F.
  • Mix the scallops, lemon juice, and half of the melted butter in an ovenproof baking dish and add a small amount of salt and pepper, as desired. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the scallops and then drizzle the remaining melted butter over the breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the scallops are just cooked through—approximately 10 minutes for bay scallops and 18-20 minutes for sea scallops. If the breadcrumbs have not browned nicely, switch the oven setting to broil for one minute until the desired color and a slightly crisp texture is achieved.
