Baked scallops
This dish was created by Monsieur Oudille, former Head Chef of Michel Guérard’s restaurant and it is one of my favourites. The scallops are placed on a julienne of vegetables, and then baked in their puff pastry sealed shells. The flavours are absolutely stunning - so clean and fresh - and the dish is also very easy!
