Baked Scallop and Mushroom Cream Casserole 🐚🧀 Golden scallops, tender mushrooms, and a creamy cheese sauce bake together into a cozy seafood casserole that feels simple, rich, and special enough for dinner guests. 📝 Ingredients : • 1 lb sea scallops, cleaned and patted dry • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil • 2 garlic cloves, minced • ½ cup heavy cream • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish 🍽️ How to Make It : 1️⃣ Heat the Oven Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish so the creamy seafood casserole does not stick. 2️⃣ Soften the Mushrooms Warm the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic, then cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn lightly golden. 3️⃣ Layer the Casserole Spread the mushroom mixture across the baking dish. Pour the heavy cream over the top, then sprinkle with mozzarella or Gruyère cheese and Parmesan cheese. 4️⃣ Add the Scallops Arrange the scallops in an even layer over the creamy mushroom base. Season lightly with salt and black pepper so the scallops stay sweet and tender. 5️⃣ Bake Until Bubbly Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until the scallops are opaque and just firm and the cheese is bubbling. 6️⃣ Garnish and Serve Let the baked scallop casserole rest briefly, then finish with chopped parsley. Serve hot for a creamy seafood recipe with scallops, mushrooms, and melted cheese in every bite.
