Use a couple of dessert spoons to quenelle the cream cheese mixture.
Preparation steps
1.
Whip together the cream cheese, creme fraiche, chives, garlic, and seasoning in a mixing bowl. Cover and chill until needed.
2.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan set over a moderate heat until hot. Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Fry in the oil for 2 - 3 minutes until browned underneath. Flip carefully and fry for a further 1 - 2 minutes until golden on both sides.
3.
Lift the scallops onto serving plates and serve with a quenelle of the cream cheese. Garnish with the diced pepper, pine nuts, olive oil, oregano, and salad leaves.
