Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Rinse scallops. Cook in the boiling water until opaque, about 2 minutes. Transfer scallops to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; pat dry. Transfer to the prepared pie plate.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add flour; cook, stirring constantly, until smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until thick, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Squeeze spinach dry; spread over scallops in an even layer. Pour cream sauce over spinach; top with mozzarella cheese, remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning.
- Bake in the preheated oven until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
