For the Scallops ham use Whitby bay scallops, or equivalent bay bred scallops.
For the cured ham use sleights ham, or parma ham if you cannot find it.
Pre heat your grill to full.

Place under the hot grill and cook for two minutes only until the ham starts to crisp and the parmesan starts to melt.
