This has long been my "go-to" company dish. It is fairly easy and always turns out tasting great. It is creamy indulgence, and an elegant dish. Never fails to please! Sometimes I sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a bit of color. Yes, I know the "rule" about not combining fish or shellfish with cheese, but the Gruyere really complements the scallops! Wonderful with pasta!
