A delightful scallop dish baked with a crispy, cheesy topping.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Soak the scallops in the milk for 10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry.
Soaking scallops in milk helps to tenderize them and remove any fishy odor.
Arrange the scallops in a single layer in a baking dish.
Ensure the scallops are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
Drizzle the scallops with lemon juice and dot with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
Bake the scallops in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until they turn opaque.
Keep an eye on the scallops to avoid overcooking.
In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, green onions, thyme, and parmesan cheese.
Combine the ingredients thoroughly for an even topping.
Sprinkle the topping over the scallops and broil for 2 minutes until golden and crispy.
Broiling adds a nice crunch and enhances the flavor.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving.
Cooling allows the flavors to meld together.
