🧀🔥 CRISPY SCALLOP & CHEESE MILLE-FEUILLE (SAVORY LAYERED STACK)

👀 What you’re looking at

This is a savory mille-feuille style stack made with:

• Seared scallops (juicy, buttery)
• Crispy cheese sheets (like parmesan tuile)
• Creamy base layer + sauce dots

👉 Fancy plating, but totally doable at home if you know the technique

🧾 Ingredients (2–3 servings)

🦪 Scallops

• 12–15 large sea scallops
• Salt & black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil

🧀 Crispy Cheese Layers

• 150g parmesan (grated)

🥔 Base Layer (optional but matches image)

• 2 medium potatoes
• 30ml cream
• 20g butter
• Salt

🍯 Sauce (like the dots in pic)

• 2 tbsp mayo
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp lemon juice

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make crispy cheese sheets

• Place small piles of parmesan on baking tray
• Flatten into thin circles/squares
• Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 6–8 mins
  👉 Cool → they become crispy like chips

2. Prepare mashed potato base

• Boil potatoes → mash with butter + cream
• Season lightly
  👉 Smooth, not too runny

3. Sear scallops

• Pat scallops DRY (super important)
• Season with salt & pepper
• Heat pan (high heat)
• Add oil + butter
• Sear 1.5–2 mins per side

👉 Golden crust outside, soft inside

4. Make sauce

• Mix mayo + sriracha + honey + lemon
  👉 Adjust spice level if needed

5. Assemble (this is the aesthetic part 👀)

Layer like this:

• Potato base
• Cheese sheet
• Scallops
• Repeat 2–3 layers
• Top with scallops + crispy bits

👉 Finish with sauce dots + herbs

💥 Pro Tips (this is where people mess up)

• Scallops must be DRY → or no crust
• Don’t overcrowd pan → they’ll steam
• Cheese layer must be thin → thick = chewy, not crispy
• Serve immediately → crisp texture fades fast

⚡ Flavor Profile

• Scallops: buttery, slightly sweet
• Cheese: salty, crispy umami bomb
• Sauce: creamy + spicy + tangy
• Potato: smooth, balances everything

👉 High-end restaurant vibes
