Preparation

Place 4 medium-sized plates in the oven at 200°F (100°C).

In a small saucepan, reduce red wine with sugar on high heat for about 5 min, or by slightly more than half. Add fruit and cook for 1 more min. Set aside.

Heat a skillet on high heat and melt butter until it begins to froth. Cook scallops for 1-2 min on each side.

Meanwhile, place a cheese slice on each plate. Top with a scallop and season with pepper.

Garnish with sprouts, red wine reduction and fleur de sel, if desired. Serve immediately.

Note:For nicely browned scallops, pat them dry with paper towel before cooking.
