A delightful Italian-inspired breakfast dish combining eggs, pancetta, and cheese for a flavorful start to your day.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Cooking the pancetta first allows the fat to render, which can be used to enhance the flavor of the eggs.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Whisking thoroughly incorporates air into the eggs, making them fluffier.
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for a minute.
Ensure the butter is fully melted and evenly coats the pan to prevent sticking.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, folding them as they cook to create soft curds.
Stirring gently ensures the eggs remain tender and creamy.
Once the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle the cooked pancetta over the top and fold it in.
Adding the pancetta at the end keeps it crispy and flavorful.
Serve the eggs hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the eggs retain their creamy texture.
