Easy and light - just what we need to have a healthy, somewhat fancy meal on busy nights. We just use garlic and herb breadcrumbs with the parmesan and dried parsley, and they still turned out great!

This recipe was a lifesaver, I was going to grill scallops and shrimp but the burner on my grill went out. These came out great, cook time is right on, and dinner was saved, Thanks Derf!

My Mom, husband and I loved this! I didn't have melba toast so crushed up some Trader Joe's Italian crostini and it was perfect for the crust....I also doubled the crusty ingredients, as well as the butter. I found it easier to put the scallops in a plastic bag, pour the butter over them and shake them around, rather than brush the butter on them. This is SO quick and easy, as well as delicious, so I'm sure I'll be making this again. Thanks Derf, this one's a keeper!

This is a lovely way to fix sea scallops. I followed your directions, only using Italian seasoned breadcrumbs instead of the Melba toast. The scallps were broiled perfectly, while the breading was a lovely , crispy brown. I used olive oil spray for the pan. We all enjoyed this recipe very much. Thanks so much for another wonderful recipe.
