Scallops Wrapped in Bacon

You’ve had these as canapés and appetizers, but they are also great as an entrée, serving three to four per person.

They’re totally delicious. I mean, with bacon and maple syrup, what’s to not like? And it’s so easy to make that it’s almost a crime to write a recipe for the dish.

Sure, they're rich, but try it. I guarantee you’ll like it (unless you don’t like scallops or bacon or butter or maple syrup).

Ingredients

• SCALLOPS, 12, large
• BACON, 6 slices, cut in half
