Note

Ensure scallops are dry before mixing to prevent the filling from becoming too wet.

Use fresh bay scallops for the best texture and sweetness. If using dried scallops, rehydrate them first.

Keep a close eye on the broiler step, as the butter and bread crumbs can burn quickly.

Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
