Yields5 Servings
Ingredients
 10 Scallops
 60 Semi-salted butter
 1 Celery
 dry white vermouth
 1 Egg yolk
 Salt
 Pepper
Directions
1

Have your fishmonger open the shells and keep 5 hollow parts of the shells and their lid (flat part).

2

Line the bottom of each shell with very thin slices of butter. Place on top the scallops cut in half (so 4 discs) and the roe if there is any.

3

Sprinkle with chopped celery leaves. Season with salt and pepper, and add a splash of vermouth to each shell. Cover with the remaining butter.

4

Use the shell lid as a template to cut out lids from the puff pastry. Make them a little larger so that you can attach the pastry lids under the shells.

5

Brush the puff pastry with the egg yolk diluted with a few drops of water. Draw the design of a shell on the pastry.

6

To finish, in a preheated oven at 220°C (thermostat 7), bake the shells for 15 minutes. Enjoy with a glass of aperitif.
