Preparation

How to prepare Mini omelettes in pancetta bacon

To prepare mini omelettes in pancetta bacon, start by setting the oven to 355°F (180°C). In a bowl, beat the eggs 1 with a fork, together with the milk 2, the cheese 3, the salt and pepper

and last of all, add the hand-torn basil 4, to season the mixture. Take a muffin tray and line each mold by crossing two slices of pancetta bacon to cover the entire surface 5. There is no need to grease the molds: thanks to its fat content, the bacon will prevent the mixture from sticking to the tray, while also creating a deliciously crisp crust for the actual basket. Fill each of the molds to just below the edge with the mixture 6 (with these doses you should be able to fill 12 molds). Bake in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes, until the surface of the small omelettes is nice and golden. Once baked, remove the mini omelettes from the oven and serve them hot.
You could always add some finely diced vegetables to the omelettes (zucchini, egg plants, mushrooms, artichokes).

Storage

You can store mini omelettes in pancetta bacon in a sealed container in the refrigerator, for no more than a couple of days.

Tips

These mini omelettes can also be turned into a second course, even for your vegetarian friends! Simply replace the pancetta bacon with some grilled zucchini, and you'll make everyone happy!
