Baked scallops with cheese and potato 起士焗烤干貝 is a great starter for any meal. Scallops are a really beautiful tasting shellfish and look great on the plate. A single scallop can be a good starter, so it’s a good idea to make one for every guest you expect plus one extra spare – for the chef to test! The scallops go really well with the cheese and potato, a lot of the beautiful flavour and moisture gets absorbed into the fluffy mashed potato.
