Mix the laverbread and oatmeal together and shape into little flat cakes about 2" across and ¾" thick

After frying and removing the bacon (if using), place the laver cakes into the hot bacon fat and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side maintaining the shape with a pallet knife as they fry. Fry in unsalted butter or vegetable oil instead if you are vegetarian/vegan

Lift out carefully and eat with the bacon (or a fried egg, if preferred)
