INSTRUCTIONS
ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW # EE2309
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the scallops in four individual
ramekins (4 ounce). Divide the potatoes and carrots between the four
ramekins and place around the scallops. Add 1/4 cup of the mushrooms in
each ramekin. In each ramekin, pour 3 ounces of the broth. Season with salt
and pepper. Top each of the scallops with 3 slices of the truffles and a
drizzle of the truffle oil. For the pastry: With a 4 1/2-inch round cutter,
cut out four round disks from the puff pastry. Place the pastry directly on
top of the ramekin.
Using you hands, press the pastry over the side of the ramekin, while
turning the ramekins clockwise. This will seal the dome. Using a pastry
brush, brush the beaten egg over the top of the dome. Sprinkle with the
Parmesan Reggiano Cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the scallops
are heated through. Remove the domes from the oven and place on a folded
napkin. Drizzle the dome with truffle oil. Sprinkle the domes with Parmesan
Reggiano Cheese and shaved black truffles. Garnish with chopped chives.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
