Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Ready In: 20 mins

Ingredients

6 rashers (slices) - smoked streaky bacon (side bacon)

8 - scallops

2 - spring onions (scallions)

  - butter

4 slices - brown or stoneground bread

Directions

1. Finely slice the spring onions and put to one side. In a large frying pan (skillet), cook the bacon for about 8-10 minutes over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove from the pan, drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and cut the rashers in two crosswise.
2. In the same pan, increase the heat a little and cook the scallops in the bacon fat. Cook for two minutes, and then flip. Once flipped, add a small knob of butter to the pan and add the scallions. Cook for a further one to two minutes until the scallops are cooked through but still tender.
3. Build each sandwich with a layer of bacon pieces, the warm scallops, a sprinkle of spring onions and some of the salty juices from the pan. Serve immediately.
