Put these out for a game-day buffet, and watch them be the first to leave the table. They're even fancy enough to serve for a special dinner. Garnish with fresh tarragon if desired.

Time 35m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 puff pastry shells (such as Pepperidge Farm®)
2 tablespoons butter, divided
12 ounces bay scallops
⅓ cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced shallots
½ cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon dry sherry
½ teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C). Place pastry shells on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • While pastry shells are baking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops and saute quickly on both sides until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms and shallots and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk half-and-half and flour together in a bowl and add to the skillet with the mushroom mixture, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk wine, sherry, lemon juice, and mustard into the cream sauce. Stir in Parmesan cheese, tarragon, and black pepper. Add cooked scallops to the sauce in the skillet, stir, and reheat briefly, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove pastry shells from oven and cut off tops. Fill with cheesy scallops.

These were okay. I thought the scallops were a bit bland and the cheese sauce was a bit too thick. I probably won't be making these again.

I made these for my family and they loved them! The cheesy scallop filling was so flavorful and the puff pastry was flaky and light. I will definitely be making these again.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less salt in the cheese sauce.

Not bad! I thought these were pretty good. The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the cheese sauce was tasty. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the scallops for a shorter amount of time.

I made these for a party and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. They're so easy to make and they look really impressive.

These were a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was overpowering and the puff pastry was too heavy. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a lighter cheese, like ricotta or goat cheese.

Meh. I thought these were just okay. The scallops were a bit tough and the cheese sauce was bland. I probably won't be making these again.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used frozen bay scallops and they worked great. The cheese sauce is rich and flavorful, and the puff pastry is the perfect crispy vessel. A new favorite recipe!
