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; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1-1/2 pounds bay scallops; 1/2 cup chopped onion; 2 tablespoons butter; 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained; 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon; 1-1/4 cups shredded Asiago cheese; TOPPING:; 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs; 2 tablespoons butter, melted; 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

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
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds bay scallops
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1-1/4 cups shredded Asiago cheese
TOPPING:
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, cream, wine, mustard, salt and pepper until smooth; set aside.
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.
Drain scallops. Add the scallops, mushrooms and tarragon to the sauce; heat through. Stir in Asiago cheese until melted.
Divide scallop mixture among four 10-oz. baking dishes. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over scallop mixture. Broil 6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
