Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 mins

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chanterelle mushrooms and sauté until tender and lightly browned, approximately 5-8 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.

02

Step
5 mins

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Continue cooking until the butter transforms into a light brown hue and emits a fragrant, nutty aroma. This process should take around 5 minutes, so watch it carefully to prevent burning.

03

Step
2 mins

Stir in the chopped tomato and balsamic vinegar into the browned butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and the sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.

04

Step
1 mins

Gently fold the cooked tomato and browned butter sauce into the bowl with the sautéed chanterelles.

05

Step
1 mins

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high.

06

Step
4 mins

Arrange the scallops on a broiler-safe pan in a single layer. Broil for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until the scallops are just opaque and slightly golden brown. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become rubbery.

07

Step
1 mins

Serve the broiled scallops immediately, generously topping them with the chanterelle and tomato sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Ensure the scallops are very dry before broiling to achieve a nice sear. Pat them dry with paper towels.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce.
Serve immediately upon completion of the recipe, as the scallops will not retain their optimal flavor otherwise

    I didn't have chanterelles so I used shiitake mushrooms and it was still delicious!
