Scallop toasts with bacon and thyme

1. Cut the bacon in half down the lengths. Pat dry the scallops with paper towels. Wrap them in the bacon cut in half slices like a mini tournedos. Slip a small sprig of thyme between the scallop and the bacon.

2. With a cookie cutter, cut 18 bread toasts, as large as the scallops.

3. Melt the butter in a skillet and cook one side only of each toast until brown colour.

4. Remove them and and place the scallops wrapped in bacon. Cook over high heat for 1 minute on each side.

5. Place them on the toasted bread side. Add ground pepper and enjoy immediately.
