Cook and stir scallops in melted butter until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Stir flour into scallop mixture until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

Gradually pour half-and-half and milk into scallop mixture, while stirring constantly until milk mixture is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
