JULIA CHILD'S SCALLOPS GRATINEED

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute shallots in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter until they begin to be translucent but not browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Set aside.
• Dry scallops with a paper towel and slice them in half,horizontally. Season scallops with salt and pepper and lightly dust in flour,removing any excess.
• In another skillet (or you can use the same one after removing sauteed shallots), drizzle a bit more oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Sear scallops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Pour wine into the same skillet with the scallops and add thyme, bay leaf and shallot mixture and continue cooking until wine is reduced,for another 2-3 minutes.
• Divide scallops into shallow ovenproof dishes and spoon sauce over. I like using a shallow ramekins that would normally be used for creme brulee, but work perfectly for this. Top with Gruyere cheese and doteach ramekin with butter.
• Right before serving, place ramekins under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until cheese is just melted and serve.
