Scallops Mornay
   #190337
 Chef James (Florida) says:
This is an excellent rendition of Scallops Mornay. I have substituted shallots for the onion, used Gruyere as the Swiss cheese, and gratinéed with shredded Gruyere under the broiler for the remaining few minutes to enhance the appearance, with a light dusting of Hungarian paprika.
