Step 1

Clean scallops rinse, and pat dry on paper towel. If scallops are large cut in pieces. Melt butter and saute scallops and mushrooms. NOTE: cut mushrooms in small pieces as well.

Step 2

Stir in 3 talespoons flour a little at a time blending well. medium heat. Add milk and cream slowly, cook and stir until slightly thickened. Add salt, white pepper and sherry or brandy.
Step 3

Divide mixture into four baking shells. Cover each with bread crumbs.

Bake at 400 degrees until the bread crumbs are brown. Note: keep a eye on scallops it doesn't take to long to brown.

I have prepared this inpressive seafood dish for company and it was always a big hit. A plump baked potato and green vegetable is all you need and of coarse, one of your favorite deserts.
