Etymology
The term 'scalloped' originates from the word 'scallop', which originally referred to a type of shellfish. Over time, its use expanded within culinary contexts, particularly in relation to food that is arranged in layers. The transition to its modern culinary use likely took place in the 18th century, amid the rise of French cuisine, which influenced many cooking methods. As chefs began to creatively layer ingredients with creamy sauces and bake them, the term 'scalloped' became a common descriptor for this style of preparation. The etymology reflects not only the dish's origins but also its expected presentation that resembles the layered, curved shell of a scallop.
