As far as weeknight meals goes, baked scallops has always been a go-to for me. 

 Mom always made baked scallops with bay scallops and buttered bread crumbs and I still make them for the family.  I don’t often use seas scallops because they can be so costly but I saw a great sale this week and bought them to make this recipe. 
Juicy sweet scallops; topped with shredded Gruyère and then a crispy garlicky buttery topping made from Ritz crackers and baked until bubbly.  Not many ingredients, simple to assemble and always a fan favorite at the house

Baked Scallops
.
.
1 1/2-2 lbs lbs sea scallops
1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
zest of one lemon 
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine (or you can use Pernod)
Juice of 1/2 lemon 
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 400F. 
Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. If they have the tough muscle on the side, remove it.
Place the scallops in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
Season with salt and pepper. 
Pour the white wine over the scallops. Sprinkle with lemon juice 

In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest and Ritz crackers until well combined.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the scallops.
Spread the cracker mixture evenly over the Gruyère cheese.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. 
*Optional is to slice a lemon and sauté in a little olive oil until they char. Serve over scallops
