Scallop Puffs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 Tbsp. butter
    1 lb. scallops, chopped (bay or sea)
    2 tsp. finely minced lemon zest
    (I drizzle fresh lemon)
    3 cloves chopped garlic
    sprinkle of dill weed (you need this for flavor)
    2 c. grated Swiss cheese
    2 1/4 c. Hellmann's mayonnaise
    pepper to taste
    2 pkgs. Pepperidge Farm cocktail bread (difficult to find after holidays; try whatever available at deli or bakery department)
Preparation
    Melt the butter in the large frypan.
    Add the scallops, lemon zest and garlic.
    Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
    Add the dill and let cool to room temperature. Add cheese, mayonnaise and pepper to the scallop mixture and stir to combine well.
    Refrigerate in a covered bowl until ready to use, no longer than a week.
    Preheat broiler and arrange cocktail bread on cookie sheet.
    Broil 1 minute and turn them over and top with a heaping teaspoon of the scallop mixture.
    Broil until puffed and golden - approximately 2 minutes.
    Keep an eye on them when broiling.
    Usually a big hit!
