Melt ¼ cup butter in a saucepan, add ¼ cup flour, and stir the roux until it is well blended. Add gradually the combined hot broths from the scallops and the mushrooms and cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it is thickened and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in egg yolks beaten with the heavy cream and a little of the hot sauce. Correct the seasoning and stir in the scallops, shallots, and mushrooms. Fill scallop shells or ramekins with the mixture, piling them high in the center, sprinkle with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Brown the filling in a hot oven (400F) or under the broiler.
