- Lay 2 or 3 sage leaves on each scallop and press a slice of prosciutto firmly on top. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides of the scallops with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Melt half of the butter in a large skillet. When butter is foaming, add the scallops and cook in batches, sprinkling them with the garlic as they cook and adding more butter when needed, for 2 minutes on each side. Lift out and keep warm.
- Pour the white wine into the pan and boil for a few minutes until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Stir in the cream and heat grently, then taste for seasoning. Arrange the scallops on warmed plates and pour the sauce over them. Serve immediately.
