Pancetta and Poached Eggs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 slices of pancetta
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Repeat with the remaining eggs, cooking 2 at a time. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water and drain on paper towels.
- To assemble, place the toasted English muffin halves on serving plates. Top each half with a slice of crispy pancetta, followed by a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
Pancetta, a beloved Italian cured meat, has a rich history dating back to ancient Rome. Traditionally made from pork belly, it's seasoned with salt and a blend of aromatic spices, then tightly rolled and aged for several months. When paired with poached eggs, the result is a delightful combination of savory and creamy flavors. Renowned chefs like Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, have elevated this classic dish by using locally sourced pancetta and eggs. For the best version of this dish, seek out high-quality pancetta and master the art of poaching eggs to achieve the perfect runny yolk. Alternatively, consider adding a drizzle of truffle oil for a luxurious twist.
