Pancetta-Wrapped Mini Frittatas

Pancetta-wrapped mini frittatas are a tasty dish that combines the softness of a frittata with the smoky flavor of pancetta. Here’s how you can prepare them with an Italian touch.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 100 g sliced pancetta
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Aromatic herbs to taste (e.g., parsley, basil, etc.)
• Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chopped aromatic herbs.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan and pour in the egg mixture to create a thin frittata. Cook over medium-low heat until golden on one side, then flip it using a lid or plate and cook on the opposite side.
3. Once cooked, remove the frittata from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then cut it into rectangles or squares of appropriate size to be wrapped in pancetta.
4. Wrap each piece of frittata with a slice of pancetta. Secure the pancetta with a toothpick if necessary.
5. Heat another pan (preferably non-stick) and cook the pancetta-wrapped mini frittatas until crispy and golden on all sides.
6. Drain the mini frittatas on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

Trivia

Pancetta-wrapped mini frittatas are a great idea for a tasty appetizer or main course and can be enriched with grated cheese, finely chopped vegetables, or spices according to taste. They can also be a simple way to use up leftover vegetables or cheeses waiting in the fridge to be used.
