Baked Scallops

Baked Scallops is an Italian inspired dish of baked fresh scallops topped with bread crumbs, butter, garlic, parsley and mozarella.

Last week I found this New Zealand Queen Scallops at our local supermarket for a really good price, it’s like less than NZ$20.00 per kilogram so I grabbed one even it was not on my shopping list. Now I have a problem since it was not on my menu of the week which means I did not have any plans on when I will cook them or how would I prepare them. So, for our recipe today I tried to make it with what I have available in my pantry and fridge at that moment, armed with just breadcrumbs, garlic, olive oil and some mozzarella I can prepare it Italian style and here is how I made it.
