Baked Scallops with Endive

Both France and Belgium border the Atlantic ocean and each other. French creativity is on display in Brittany with the just three ingredients. Sweet sea scallops baked over bitter endive and sitting in soothing butter is an inspired combination. It brings together Brittany’s unlimited access to the freshest seafood available with the bitter endive that Belgium is famous for. Add melted butter baked between the two and a simple-yet-luscious dish emerges.
