ROASTED GARLIC SABAYON
I have no idea where this recipe came from. I have had it for years, though. It is great on grilled chicken breasts or roast fowl. The yield depends on the volume of the whipped cream, approximately 2 cups. Preparation time includes roasting the garlic and whipping the cream.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump, firm, and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a fishy odor.
- Sear the scallops properly. To get a nice sear on your scallops, make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Roast the garlic properly. To get the best flavor out of your garlic, roast it in the oven until it is soft and caramelized. This will take about 20 minutes.
- Make the sabayon ahead of time. The sabayon can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are still tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Seared scallops with roasted garlic sabayon is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the sabayon is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
