TO MAKE THE GRATINS
Divide a quart of fresh bay scallops among the desired amount of shells.
With the spinach/saffron variation, put the spinach on the bottom, then the scallops, then top with the cream.
With the cauliflower, cauliflower first then the cheese added on top of that. (the thyme leaves are sprinkled on top after broiling for garnish)
Mushrooms, miso and salmon are the same: scallops in the shell first, topping on top.
Place the half shells on a stable surface in a broiling pan, and placer under a pre-heated broil for 2-3 minutes. Keep and eye on things. The Miso topping is a good barometer, as the bread crumbs will be the first to brown, so when they're dark, the deal is done.
