Scallop Puffs
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1 lb. scallops, chopped (bay or sea)
- 2 tsp. finely minced lemon zest
- (I drizzle fresh lemon)
- 3 cloves chopped garlic
- sprinkle of dill weed (you need this for flavor)
- 2 c. grated Swiss cheese
- 2 1/4 c. Hellmann's mayonnaise
- pepper to taste
- 2 pkgs. Pepperidge Farm cocktail bread (difficult to find after holidays; try whatever available at deli or bakery department)
- Melt the butter in the large frypan.
- Add the scallops, lemon zest and garlic.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the dill and let cool to room temperature. Add cheese, mayonnaise and pepper to the scallop mixture and stir to combine well.
- Refrigerate in a covered bowl until ready to use, no longer than a week.
- Preheat broiler and arrange cocktail bread on cookie sheet.
- Broil 1 minute and turn them over and top with a heaping teaspoon of the scallop mixture.
- Broil until puffed and golden - approximately 2 minutes.
- Keep an eye on them when broiling.
- Usually a big hit!
