Creamed Scallops in Cheese Sauce
1 pint Scallops; halved, or quartered if large
1 c Milk
2 tablespoon Butter
1 c Sharp cheddar cheese; grated
2 tablespoon Flour
Buttered bread crumbs
1 dash Vermouth; (optional)
Melt butter in sauce pan, remove from heat and add flour, stirring to make
smooth paste. Pour milk into mixture, stir well, and return to medium heat,
stirring until thickened. When thickened, ass the cheese and keep over a low
heat until cheese is melted. Place scallops in casserole, pour sauce over,
top with buttered bread crumbs, and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes
to 1 hour. Vermouth will give this an excellent flavor.
