Cut the bread into roughly ¼-inch dice and leave out overnight to dry or bake in a 300° F oven until crunchy but still pale.
Preheat the oven to 400° F and set out a baking dish suitable for serving.
In a small saute pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Spoon a tablespoon or so of the melted butter into the baking dish, arrange the scallops in an even layer, and season with salt.
Add the vegetables to the pan of melted butter and sauté until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Put the bread cubes into a large mixing bowl, add the vegetables and Provincetown Pride, and stir well. Spoon this mixture over the scallops in the baking dish, covering them evenly.
Bake until the topping is golden brown and the mixture is bubbling, around 10 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes, then serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Note
Other ideas for using this lively blend: Mix it into olive oil as a marinade for grilling meaty fish like swordfish or tuna; stir it into melted butter for dipping shrimp or lobster or brush it on grilled corn or toast; or toss a generous pinch into the water for steaming clams and mussels.
