Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda, egg, milk and spring onions to a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. In a frying pan, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil, then wipe the pan with a paper towel so that the oil is spread around the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and press two tomato halves into each crumpet, cut side up. When bubbles begin to appear in the mixture, flip the crumpets over and brown the other side. Mix together the cream cheese and fresh mint or basil and place spoonfuls on top of the crumpets. Serve dusted with crispy bacon bits.
