Since scallops will continue to release their cooked juices, drain this liquid before returning scallops to the pan so that your sauce is thicker.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, cream, wine, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, saute scallops and onion in butter until scallops are opaque. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add milk mixture to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
