Breakfast Sandwich with Pesto-Scrambled Eggs and Crispy Pancetta Recipe
- 8 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (not nonfat)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
- 8 (1/2-inch) slices Italian sandwich bread
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Place the pancetta on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and bake until browned and crisped, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.
- Place the eggs, milk, and measured salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until the eggs are broken up and the mixture is thoroughly combined; set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until foaming.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed until the eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center.
- Let sit again until the edges start to set, then spread back into an even layer.
- Repeat, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds, until almost set, for a total cooking time of about 4 to 5 minutes.
- (The top of the eggs should still be slightly wet.)
- Meanwhile, toast the bread and spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on it.
- Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir the pesto into the eggs.
- Divide the eggs among half of the bread slices.
- Divide the pancetta over the eggs and top with the remaining bread slices butter-side down.
- Serve immediately.
