Although the rich seafood tidbits look complicated, they're actually easy to assemble and cook. The dipping sauce, with its hints of mustard and maple syrup, complements the scallops nicely. It's a unique appetizer.

Ingredients

• 10 bacon strips
• 10 large sea scallops
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place bacon in an ungreased 15x10x1" baking pan. Bake at 350 deg for 7 to 10 minutes or until partially cooked and lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Wrap each strip of bacon around a scallop; secure with toothpicks. In a saucepan, bring cream to a boil. Reduce heat; about 8 minutes. Stir in the mustard, syrup and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, place the scallops on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 deg for 8 to 12 minutes until firm and opaque. Serve with the cream sauce.
