PLT - PANCETTA, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Before putting together sandwich, make a plate of arugula and sliced tomatoes and set aside with unsalted butter.
• Butter 1 side of each bread slice, then put 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top the bread slices with the pancetta, distributing it evenly. Top each with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
• Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan until hot. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and top with a weight, such as another skillet. Cook until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn the sandwiches and replace the weight. Cook until the second side is well browned, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the sandwiches to a work surface and remove the top slice of bread from each sandwich. Spread the underside of those slices with the basil mayonnaise. Top the pancetta with the tomato slices, pepper to taste, and arugula leaves. Replace the top slice of bread, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.
• Take the roll of pancetta, and dice into about 1-inch cubes. Drizzle some olive oil into a saute pan on medium heat. Add pancetta to heated oil and cook until crispy. Pour the cooked cubes with fat, into a bowl and allow to cool.

BREAKFAST TART WITH PANCETTA AND GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Unroll the pie crust and gently press into the bottom and sides of the pan. Trim any excess from the top.
• With the tines of a fork, prick the bottom of the pastry. Using a pastry brush, brush the crust with the beaten egg white. Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the egg white has set. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the mascarpone, gruyere, scallions, salt, pepper and the pancetta. Pour into the cooled crust and bake for about 18 minutes, until the mixture has set and the top is golden.
• Cool the tart for 10 to 15 minutes and then remove from the pan. Cut the tart into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

PANCETTA, LETTUCE AND TOMATO (PLT) WITH BURRATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Split the focaccia in half horizontally and place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Arrange the pancetta over the bottom piece of focaccia and brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Brush the top piece of focaccia with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Bake, using tongs to evenly redistribute the shrunken pancetta halfway through baking, until the pancetta is golden and the focaccia is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the basil, mayonnaise and lemon zest and juice in a small bowl.
• Transfer both pieces of focaccia to a cutting board. Top the pancetta with the tomatoes. Cut each burrata ball into quarters with a sharp knife and spread evenly over the tomatoes. Top with the lettuce. Spread the basil mayonnaise on the top piece of focaccia and place on the lettuce. Cut the PLT into 4 or 6 pieces.

PLT: PANCETTA, LETTUCE AND TOMATO PANINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir the basil into the mayonnaise.
• Butter one side of each bread slice, then put 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top the bread slices with the pancetta, distributing it evenly. Top each with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
• Cook in panini grill until nicely browned (2-3 minutes).
• Transfer the sandwiches to a work surface and remove the top slice of bread from each sandwich. Spread the underside of those slices with mayonnaise. Top the pancetta with the tomato slices, pepper to taste, and romaine leaves. Replace the top slice of bread, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately.

INO'S PANCETTA, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the slices of pancetta about 1/2 inch apart from each other on a baking sheet. Cook them for about 20 minutes, until they're cooked through, but not crisp.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato slices, and sprinkle them with salt. Allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the lemon aioli on one side of each slice of bread. Arrange the slices of pancetta on the bottom of the slices of bread, and place tomato slices over it. Arrange the arugula on top and cover with the top slice of bread. Spread the outer slices of bread with softened butter and grill in a panini machine, or brush with olive oil and grill on a charcoal or gas grill. Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal.

FRITTATA WITH POTATOES AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a 9-inch, ovenproof, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it is lightly browned. Remove the pancetta from the pan and place on paper towels.
• Drain all but 1 TBSP. of the fat from the pan, add the olive oil, and, when it is hot, add the onion (or the leek). Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender. Add the potatoes and stir well to coat with the oil. Season the mixture with half of the salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover with and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, but still hold their shape (the cooking time depends on the size of the potato pieces.). Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions and the potatoes are golden brown.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk (or cream), the flour, the cheese, the rest of the salt, and several grinds of pepper. Stir in the scallions and the cooked pancetta.
• Pour the eggs over the potato mixture in the skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally and lifting the edges, so the uncooked egg runs underneath. Remove from the heat and transfer the skillet to the oven.
• Bake for about 6 to 8 minutes or until frittata is puffed and golden. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the chives and let it sit for 2 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the frittata. Slip it out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
