Directions:

Heat oven to 350 F. In large saucepan, bring wine and water to boil. Add
bay leaf, peppercorns and thoroughly cleaned scallops. Return to boil,
reduce heat and simmer 3-4 min. Drain scallops, reserving broth. In small
heavy-bottomed pan, melt 3 T of the butter and cook minced shallots until
translucent but not browned. Add flour and stir constantly until it starts
to turn golden. Gradually stir in 1 cup reserved hot broth. Continue to
cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the
salt, sprig of parsley and nutmeg, and cook a few more min. Strain sauce
into bowl. Add scallops, chopped parsley, lemon juice and remaining 1/2
teaspoon salt. Stir well. Butter 4 baking shells and divide scallop mixture
evenly among them. Combine bread crumbs and grated cheese. Sprinkle over
filled shells. Dot with remaining 2 T butter. Bake 20-25 min, or until tops
are golden brown.
