Bay Scallop Casserole 

Serves 4 

INGREDIENTS

Butter cracker crumbs- Saltines, Townhouse, or Ritz

1 to 1 1/2  pounds of scallops-  we prefer the more traditional bay scallops ( sea scallops work as well )

Salt and pepper 

1/4 cup white wine or cream sherry 

4 tablespoons of cream

1/2 cup of buttered bread crumbs 

DIRECTIONS

Butter a baking dish and place a layer of crushed crackers on the bottom. Place a layer of scallops over the crackers, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of wine or sherry, 2 tablespoons of cream, and a dot with butter. Add a layer of crackers, and then another layer of scallops, seasonings, and liquids. Dot with butter, cover with cracker crumbs, and cover over scallops. Add a bit more of the liquids, salt, and pepper; and dot with butter. Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 30-35 minutes until bubbling, and the internal temperature of the scallops is 145 degrees.
