Scallop Puffs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 lb scallops, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely minced
1 garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dill, minced
1 cup swiss cheese (or Gruyere cheese)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
fresh pepper
1 baguette, cut and lightly toasted

Preparation

Cut the baguette into thin rounds and lightly toast. Set aside. (or cut rounds from sandwich bread and toast).
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
Add the scallops, lemon zest and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until the scallops are just barely cooked through, 2 - 3 minutes.
Add the dill and cook 30 seconds longer. Let cool to room temperature.
Add the cheese, mayonnaise and pepper to the scallop mixture and stir to combine well. Chill in a covered bowl until ready to use. (Can freeze at this point.)
Preheat the broiler.
Place the toast rounds 1/2\" apart on a baking sheet. Top each round with a heaping tsp of the scallop mixture. Broil the puffs 5\" from the heat until puffed and golded, 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve hot.
