Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and grease or butter a 9 x 13 baking dish.
In a small to medium mixing bowl, combine the Panko, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chives, bacon, lemon zest and juice from ½ of a lemon (about 1 Tbsp), and melted butter. Set aside.
Rinse and transfer the scallops to a paper towel lined plate, pat dry. Transfer to your prepared baking dish (or baking shells) and season with salt and pepper. Top the scallops with bread crumb mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until tender. There should still be some 'give' when you check for firmness, as you don't want to bake these scallops too long resulting in chewy scallops. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
