Cannot imagine how I missed this recipe! Scallops are my single favorite food in the world. Will definitely need to try this. Love the idea of the bacon pastry.

I love this recipe, but I giggle everytime I think of it. I alway wonder if he tells the story as much as I do.

Firstly, that is an awesome and hilarious story! Love it. Secondly, the Coquilles St. Jacques sounds good and all, but I just can't get past how amazing bacon puff pastry sounds!!!

I often wonder if my date that night tells the story as much as I do? The bacon puff pastry is amazing.When I am cooking them, I always make extra. Yum.

Wow! I missed it too, so thank you for commenting on it, Lizthechef. Minute by minute here, I'm assembling a 50th birthday menu for a friend this weekend!

Dinner last night was fantastic! I made Amanda's Button Mushroom Salad as an appetizer (brushed the crostini with some of the mushroom-infused oil), Jennifer Ann's salad with buttermilk dressing & pears, your scallops, and a dessert I'm working on for the flaming contest. It was a complete food52 night for a 50th birthday. As each concoction landed on the table, my friend kept saying that THIS was the best part of the dinner, all the way to the end. Your combination of flavors is amazing! I could have it again for dinner tonight. Thanks to food52ers for a wonderful evening!

Great story! And I love the recipe - bacon + cream + pastry + scallops = major yum! The pastry really dresses up this dish in such a nice way. I just happen to have some puff pastry in the freezer I made a couple months ago and plan to make this Sunday night for dinner.

I can't agree more. That's what makes it so addictive. The validation, the respect and total appreciation we receive for what we express through our food takes our desire and ability to create and cook to another level. It challenges our creativity while providing a net of support that urges us on. It's really such a unique internet-personal experience, at least for me. And then when you have an opportunity to meet someone on here, you feel like you've known each other ages. But then food has brought people together for thousands of years. Yes, I've had a glass of wine as I write this, maybe 2, but it's true nonetheless.

I have wondered through the years if "my date" has enough guts to tell this story about himself. I concur about scallps, bacon and cream.
See what other Food52ers are saying.
