For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the scallop mixture before baking. Panko bread crumbs provide a superior crispy texture compared to regular bread crumbs. Freshly grated nutmeg is essential for the distinctive aroma and warmth it imparts to the dish. Serve with a simple green salad or crusty bread to soak up the delicious buttery sauce.
