2. Prepare Scallops: Start by washing the scallops thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

3. Prepare Crumb Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it’s smooth and creamy. Once melted, add in all the breadcrumbs and mix well until they are evenly coated with the buttery goodness.

4. Layer Crumb Mixture: Take a baking dish and spread a layer of the crumb mixture, using about one-third of it, to create a deliciously crunchy base for your scallops.

5. Layer Scallops: Arrange half of the washed scallops evenly over the crumb layer in the baking dish, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking and flavor distribution.

6. Pour Evaporated Milk: Drizzle half of the canned evaporated milk evenly over the layer of scallops. This creamy goodness adds richness and depth to the dish.

7. Season: Sprinkle half of the salt and pepper evenly over the layer of scallops and milk to enhance their natural flavors and add a perfect balance of seasoning.

8. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of the remaining scallops, followed by the remaining evaporated milk. Finish off with a sprinkle of the remaining salt and pepper for that extra burst of flavor.

9. Top with Crumb Mixture: Finally, top the dish with the remaining crumb mixture, ensuring that it covers the entire surface evenly. This will create a crispy, golden topping that adds texture and flavor to every bite.

10. Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crumbs are beautifully browned and the scallops are cooked through. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-browning.

11. Serve: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve alongside a vibrant green salad and warm rolls for a complete and satisfying meal.
