Step-by-Step Instructions for Gourmet Seafood Cassolette
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a baking dish or individual ramekins.
  2. In a large pan, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp, scallops, and white fish, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
  3. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of butter and heat until bubbly. Toss in minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, then pour in white wine and reduce it for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Mix in Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses until they melt into a creamy consistency.
  5. In your baking dish, place the sautéed seafood evenly and pour the creamy sauce over it, ensuring all is generously covered.
  6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and additional cheese over the top for extra texture.
  7. Transfer to your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
  8. Let the cassolette rest for a couple of minutes, garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest, then serve warm.
