Scrambled Egg Pancetta And Fontina Bruschetta Recipes

ITALIAN EGG AND PASTA SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain the orzo.
• Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese and basil. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the orzo and stir to coat. Add the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir the mixture until the eggs are softly set, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the egg mixture to a serving bowl and serve.

SILKY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PANCETTA, PEPPER AND PECORINO

Steps:

• Using a nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan, heat the pancetta over medium. Let cook, shaking the pan, until the fat renders out and the pancetta browns all over, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how large the cubes are.
• If the pan looks oily, pour (or spoon) off any excess grease. Add butter to the pan and let melt. Reduce heat to low.
• Beat the eggs and salt in a medium bowl until well mixed but not frothy. Pour into the skillet with the pancetta and, using a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, scramble the eggs until they are just set, 2 to 4 minutes. Take care that the eggs don't brown, lowering the heat further if necessary.
• Divide the eggs onto two plates and shower pepper generously over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and serve at once.

BRUSCHETTA WITH FONTINA AND GREENS

Steps:

• For the toasts: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes. Rub the warm toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Set aside.
• For the topping: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 of the spinach and stir until it begins to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, to taste. Using tongs, arrange the spinach on top of the toasts. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Season with salt and cool for 2 minutes.
• Transfer the bruschetta to a platter and serve.

BREAKFAST BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place baguette slices on a baking sheet.

• Cook and stir onion in the same skillet until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs and sausage; stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide egg mixture among baguette slices and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
