Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz / 226g - crimini mushrooms small diced
  • 4 tbsp - unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp - olive oil
  • 2 - garlic clove crushed
  • 1 - sprig thyme
  • 1/2 - onion small diced
  • 2 tbsp - all purpose flour
  • 453 g / 1 pound - bay scallops
  • 4 oz / 113g / 1/2 cup - white wine
  • 4 oz / 113g / 1/2 cup - stock
  • 1 - bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp - chopped parsley
  • 8 oz / 226g / 1 cup - heavy cream
  • 1 tsp - lemon juice
  • 2 oz / 56g / 1/2 cup - breadcrumbs
  • 1 oz / 28g / 3 tbsp - gruyere cheese
  • 3 - endive spears

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • In an ovensafe pan, heat together the olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter. Once hot, add the one clove of crushed garlic, diced onions, thyme, and mushrooms. Cook on high heat until the mushrooms are cooked through and golden.
  • In another saucepan, bring the white wine, stock, bay leaf, and one crushed garlic clove to a simmer. Add the scallops and poach just until the scallops are cooked through. Strain and reserve 1 cup of the poaching liquid.
  • Set the mushrooms aside and in the same pan, heat the 2 tbsp of butter until melted. Add four and whisk it together until it forms a paste. Cook for 2 minutes. Stream in the reserved stock and heavy cream while whisking. Let the mixture bubble for a few minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms, scallops, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and top with breadcrumbs and cheese.
  • Place it under the broiler just until it's golden brown on top. This dish is traditionally served on a scallop shell but in the movie, it's served on an endive leaf.
  • Serve by scooping a small amount an endive leaf.
