Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bacon slices on baking sheet. Bake
until pale golden, about 8 minutes. Cut each slice crosswise in
half. Cool. Wrap 1 bacon piece around sides of each scallop and
secure with a toothpick.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Place scallops on baking sheet and bake
until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil cream in heavy large skillet until reduced to 3/4
cup, about 3 minutes. Add mustard and syrup and boil until thickened
to sauce consistency, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Remove toothpicks from scallops. Spoon sauce evenly onto 4 small
plates. Arrange scallops decoratively atop sauce. Sprinkle with
chives and serve. |
