1 lb. large sea scallops, cut in bite-sized pieces
1/3-1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 cup water to cover scallop (water should be flush with scallops)
4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 (8 oz ea.) pkgs. fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Swiss cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
2 lb. potatoes, peeled, cooked and well mashed (put around the coquille)

Add scallops and the wine in a small to medium size pot. Add enough water to be level with scallops. Stir gently to mix wine with water. Cook on medium heat until scallops are opaque in color. Stir once or twice to cook evenly. Careful - DO NOT OVERCOOK. Once opaque color, turn burner off and remove scallops with a spoon and place in a dish. Return pot with liquid to burner on LOW. There should be about 1 to 1-1/2 cups of the liquid.

In a large pan or pot, heat butter and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until all water from mushrooms has evaporated. DO NOT brown mushrooms. Once mushrooms are done, remove pan from heat and add the flour. Mix well to ensure a smooth consistency.

Once you have a smooth consistency, gently add the liquid from the scallops and stir gently until your have a smooth sauce. Return pan or pot to burner at medium-high heat. Stir gently until the sauce starts to heat up again.

Once hot; turn heat to medium low and add the cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese has fully melted in the mushroom sauce. Once you have done this, add cooked scallops. Don't worry there will some liquid that accumulated in the dish. Put it in. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients together.

Note: If the mixture seems too thick, add water until you have a smooth sauce, but not runny.

Place this mixture in "coquille" dish, You could also use dishes that has a little dip in the middle. Using a small spoon put the mash potatoes all around the coquille dish.

Just before serving, sprinkle a little of your favorite cheese on top of the coquille and bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350°F. ENJOY!

Note: This scallop mixture can also be served with pasta or rice if you wish.
