This savory zucchini loaf, served with pan-seared scallops and our Jean Martin Basil Tomato Sauce, is an elegant appetizer that combines land and sea.
Preparation
- Whisk the eggs and crème fraîche together. Mix in the zucchini. Pour the mixture into a buttered loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven (210°C / 410°F) for about 30 to 35 minutes.
- On a buttered baking sheet or in a frying pan, cook the scallops for a few minutes, turning them over. Once golden brown, sprinkle with curry powder and serve the unmolded loaf with the scallops and Basil Tomato Sauce.
Our tip
Only sprinkle the curry on the scallops right at the end of cooking: it will burn and turn bitter if added to the pan too early.
Variation
Replace the scallops with shrimp for a more budget-friendly version.
Pairings & suggestions
This appetizer pairs well with a dry white wine such as a Chablis or a Cassis.
