SILKY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PANCETTA, PEPPER AND PECORINO



Silky Scrambled Eggs With Pancetta, Pepper and Pecorino image

Keeping the heat low and steady is the key to these soft scrambled eggs. Pancetta adds a brawny bite, but you can leave it out to make the dish vegetarian. Do add lots of freshly ground black pepper, though: It's what gives the custardy eggs a spicy snap.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, easy, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 to 3 ounces pancetta, diced
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 eggs
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Grated Pecorino Romano, Parmesan or other hard grating cheese

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.

LEMONY ORZO WITH ASPARAGUS AND GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS



Lemony Orzo With Asparagus and Garlic Bread Crumbs image

Every spoonful of this pasta has a happy jumble of lemony orzo, grassy asparagus, garlicky bread crumbs, fresh herbs and salty Parmesan. The pasta and thinly sliced asparagus cook together in the same pot, then rest in a lemony dressing while the garlic bread crumbs are toasted, so the pasta has time to absorb as much flavor as possible.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup orzo
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal (about 1/4-inch thick)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more as needed (from about 1 large lemon)
1/2 cup panko or homemade bread crumbs
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup fresh dill, mint or parsley leaves (or any combination), torn if large

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente according to package directions. Two minutes before the orzo is done, add the asparagus. Drain the orzo and asparagus. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
  • While the orzo and asparagus cook, make the dressing: In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil and the lemon zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the drained orzo and asparagus and toss to coat. Set aside while you toast the bread crumbs.
  • In the reserved pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the Parmesan and herbs into the orzo, taste, then season with salt, pepper and additional lemon juice, if desired. Top with the toasted bread crumbs and more Parmesan if you like. Serve warm or at room temperature.
