Preparation steps
1.
For Parmesan Heart Crisps:
2.
Preheat oven to 325º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper coated in nonstick cooking spray.
3.
Place a heart shaped cookie cutter on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese into the center of the cookie cutter. Evenly distribute the cheese and carefully lift off the cookie cutter, using your clean fingers to form a heart shape. Repeat this step 3 more times.
4.
Bake on the middle rack for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool and carefully transfer to a wire rack.
5.
For Scallops Au Gratin:
6.
Preheat oven to 375º F. Brush the inside of 4 individual baking dishes with melted butter.
7.
Using a spoon, scrape the seeds, pulp and juice of the passion fruit into a small bowl. Set aside.
8.
Rinse the scallops and pat completely dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
9.
Put a spoonful of passion fruit in the bottom of each baking dish. Place two seasoned scallops in each dish; top with Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon of passion fruit.
10.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until the scallops are opaque and golden. Garnish with Parmesan Heart Crisps.
11.
For Toast Points:
12.
Adjust oven rack 6 inches from broiler. Preheat broiler to high.
13.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet; brush one side with melted butter and season with salt. Toast the bread slices for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Turn over and toast the other side for about 1 minute.
14.
While the bread is still hot trim off the crust and cut into triangles. Serve with scallops.
