The perfect easy, elegant dinner. So easy and elegant, I made it just for myself! Sea scallops and little tomatoes nestled in a gratin dish. Then simply covered with a quickly blitzed crumble of breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, and, of course, butter. In the oven the garlic heats up and perfumes everything beneath it. The scallops and tomatoes relinquish all their sweet juices. The basil toasts. It's glorious.
