Scallop Pie - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/4 lbs scallops
3 -4 ounces mushrooms, sliced not too thin (see note) or 3 -4 ounces canned mushrooms, sliced and drained
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
Preparation
-
Pre heat over to 375 degrees, grease or spray a 9\" pie plate.
Mix together mashed potatoes 2 Tbl butter and the egg, spoon mix around the edges of your pie plate - use all the potatoes.
In a sauce pan, bring wine to a boil, reduce to a simmer add scallops and mushrooms cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid, set aside.
In pan melt butter, then add flour and salt making a roux, cook for a few minutes while stirring, then slowly whisk in the reserved cooking liquid, cook till smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, mushrooms and scallops.
Pour scallop mixture into the center of the potatoes and bake for 8 minutes.
Note.
The original recipe called for canned mushrooms which I never use now. If you do use them, do not cook them in the initial step with the scallops, just add them with the cheese. To cook them slightly before the short baking time poach them with the scallops, though you could also lightly saute them while making the roux.
