Tiny and tender bay scallops take center stage in these miniature dishes. They're reminiscent of potpies, very creamy and packed with flavorful veggies in every bite. Vivian Manary - Nepean, Oregon

I used half and half, Italian bread crumbs and cut way back on both the flour and bread crumbs. Sometimes I use half scallops and half shrimp. The flavor is developed when you saute the vegetables. I found this very flavorful and one of my favorite ways to serve scallops.

I love scallops so i was interested to see how this recipe turned out. My family and i found it a little bland for our taste. I also think it needs a reduction in bread crumbs. i will not make this again.
