How much cooking can scallops tolerate? I did a scallop gratin the other night with a cream sauce, I baked it but after making it wished I had seared the scallops first. Would scallops still stay tender after searing followed by baking for 15 minutes till the sauce and breadcrumbs set?

depends on temps and water content

In general would you feel confident searing one side then finishing in the oven?

I have a creme brulee torch and just sear the scallops using that. no more than ~15 sec on each side and they are perfect. Crispy and and warm on the outside but still nice and buttery on the inside.
