Scallops are one of my favorite seafoods and I was anxious to try this recipe that I found in an old cookbook. I was not disappointed and will definitely use this technique for cooking scallops again.
When I made this recipe I used a 9 1/4-inch oval au gratin dish and I halved the recipe. I found that 3 of the large sea scallops made a generous serving for me and the other 3 scallops reheated beautifully the next day.

BAKED SCALLOPS with SOUR CREAM
1 pound fresh sea scallops
3/4 to 1 cup sour cream
Juice of 1 to 1 1/2 lemons
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill
Grated Parmesan cheese
Buttered bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease 1 or 2 oval ovenproof baking dishes. Line the bottom of the dish with 1 layer of scallops.
Mix sour cream with lemon juice and chopped dill. Cover the scallops with this mixture.
Mix buttered bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the scallops.
Bake at 375 degrees until your crumb mixture is toasty brown.
