Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• STEP 2.Dip each scallop into the beaten egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to pat the scallops dry before breading them. Excess moisture can prevent the breadcrumbs from sticking.
• For an extra crispy coating, you can double coat the scallops by dipping them in the beaten egg and breadcrumb mixture twice.
• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the breaded scallops in a preheated oven at 400���F (200���C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.

Storage and Serving

• Breaded scallops are best served immediately to maintain their crispiness.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the scallops, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350���F (175���C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
