Baked Scallops with Cheese

Ingredients:

• 6 half-shelled scallops (thaw before use)
• 30 grams unsalted butter cubed
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• a small pinch of salt to taste
• freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• 60 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• dried parsley flakes garnishing

Instructions:

1. Rinse scallop meat in a shell thoroughly. 
2. Place cubed butter in a small bowl and microwave for 40 seconds. Use a spoon to stir the butter vigorously to form a smooth paste. Add mayonnaise, salt and pepper; stir to combine well.
3. Place scallops on foil or parchment-lined oven tray. Bake scallops in a pre-heated oven of 200°C (392°F) for 5 minutes.
4. Carefully drain the liquid in the shell of the scallop.
5. Divide and spoon the mayonnaise mixture evenly among the scallops. Top with shredded cheese.
6. Return scallops to the oven and bake for another 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned at the edges. Top with dried parsley flakes before serving.
