Meal No. 220: Coquilles St. Jacques

I reached for the Julia Child cookbook again tonight, and the evening's meal was found on p. 216-218 of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume I. Officially, the dish is called Coquilles St. Jacques à la Parisienne.

Above is a shot from the final step of the prep, where I'm adding some panko to it to help absorb up some of the extra butter I decided to put on the top. Below, the dishes as they waited to go under the broiler:

And the final result: a darned fine meal. Everything was really good, especially with a Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale on the side (not pictured).
