Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a baking dish with a little butter or olive oil.
Clean the sea scallops by patting them dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.
Finely chop the shallots and garlic.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing them until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer gently until it thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Arrange the scallops in the greased baking dish in a single layer. Spoon the mushroom and cream mixture evenly over the scallops.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Gruyère cheese, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, and stir until combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallops and mushrooms.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the scallops are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
