BAKED SCALLOPS, ITALIAN 
12 oz. scallops
1 tbsp. dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. diced tomato (1 sm. tomato)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp. dry parsley or 2 tbsp. fresh, chopped
3 tbsp. dry white wine
1 tbsp. butter
2 green onions, sliced

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place scallops in a sieve and rinse under cold water. Drain on paper towels. Grease a gratin dish or other baking pan. Sprinkle bottom with 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs. Arrange scallops over crumbs. Peel a small fresh tomato and squeeze gently to release seeds and some of the liquid. Dice tomato and sprinkle over scallops. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle parsley and wine over all. Saute onion in melted butter, stir in bread crumbs, then spoon over scallop mixture. Bake 10 minutes. Makes 2 servings.
