- Bring reserved wine-cream mix to simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Beat egg yolks with a whisk in medium heatproof bowl, and gradually whisk in cream mix. Return to saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, just till thickened, about 3 min. Stir in scallops.
- Divide mix proportionately among shells, and sprinkle with cheese. Toss bread crumbs with melted butter till mixed. Sprinkle proportionately over cheese in shells (see Note).
- Bake in preheated 500 degree oven till heated through, about 8-10 min. Broil 4 inches from heat till lightly browned, about 1 minute.
