Ingredients

  

• 4 slices pancetta
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh chives or parsley chopped (for garnish)
• Toasted bread or a side of your choice

Instructions

 

• Cook the Pancetta: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta slices and cook until crispy and browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
• Prepare the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a little olive oil or butter if needed. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and black pepper. I love my eggs sunny-side up, but feel free to make them scrambled, poached, or however you like them.
• Assemble the Dish: Place the crispy pancetta slices on a plate. Top with the cooked eggs. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
