Mix flour with melted butter in saucepan. Cook until bubbly over medium heat about 30 seconds. Blend in hot milk and bring to boil, stirring well.

Remove from heat; set aside.

Meanwhile, saute scallops in lemon juice in shallow saute pan over medium heat 5 minutes. Add green onions and mushrooms, and saute 1 minute. Add wine and cream and cook until reduced to thick consistency, about 2 to 5 minutes. Add cheeses, pepper, salt, garlic, and milk mixture. Simmer 1 minute.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place potatoes in pastry tube fitted with wide tip. Decoratively pipe potatoes around outsides of two 6-inch, oven-proof baking dishes. Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes or until potatoes are golden. Remove from oven, immediately spoon hot scallop mixture into center of potatoes and serve.

Makes 2 servings.
