• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

2. Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels; set aside.
3. Sear the Scallops: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
