Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbsp. butter, divided
15 round buttery crackers, crushed (about 2/3 cup)
2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1 lb. sea scallops
1 onion, chopped
1/2 lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
6 oz. (3/4 of 8 oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. milk

Steps:

  • Melt 1-1/2 Tbsp. butter; mix with cracker crumbs, Parmesan and herbs.
  • Add 1/2 Tbsp. of the remaining butter to medium skillet; cook on medium-high heat until melted. Add half the scallops; cook 1 min. on each side or until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with 1/2 Tbsp. of the remaining butter and remaining scallops.
  • Melt remaining butter in same skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir 3 min. Stir in mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently. Add wine and any liquid released from the scallops; cook 3 min. or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Whisk Neufchatel and milk until smooth. Stir into skillet; cook and stir 1 min. on medium-low heat. Return scallops to skillet; cook 4 min., stirring occasionally. Spoon into 4 (8-oz.) ramekins or 9-inch pie plate; sprinkle with crumb mixture.
  • Heat broiler. Broil scallop mixture, 6 inches from heat, 2 min. or until golden brown.
