  1. We loved this! I had very large divers' scallops so cut them in half and seared them for less time. Followed directions right up till the cheese--my guest and I tasted and decided it was lovely and rich without it. I tried it a second time, dusting the scallops with paprika before searing--it added a little bite and a bit of color. Excellent, Dawnab!
     
  2. Very nice blend of flavors and easy to prepare. For the vermouth, I combined white grape juice and white wine vinegar. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  3. Oh so good! I had never made scallops before but always loved them in restaurants. I did use white wine instead of the vermouth, used Jarlsberg cheese and added more mushrooms than the recipe called for because I love mushrooms. The taste was gorgeous! Instead of this being a starter it was my main dish. Hubby even had some and really liked it. I served it over a bed of steamed buttered kale with garlic and lemon. I know I’ll make this again! Thank you for posting Dawnab.
     
  4. I didn't rate this??? ooops! Have made this twice now. Very good, and SO EASY! Why in the world was I intimidated by the word "thermador?" In my never ending quest to reduce calories and fat, I used evaporated skimmed milk, instead of the cream, and served this over wild rice, with a good baguette and a salad. Very nice dinner.
     
  5. Oh, YUM! I made this as directed with a couple of changes. First I used half & Half instead of cream but that's my own personal preference because I always do that. Secondly, I sprinkled the dish with paprika right before serving to give it some color. The flavor was wonderful and I served it with rice pilaf. Thanks Dawn for a great tag!
