These three ingredients are a classic combination. Hence they make a perfect omelette.
Rather than the familiar ‘strip’ bacon, this recipe uses pancetta. It’s Italian bacon; a salt-cured pork belly. I prefer it to normal bacon in many situations.
You can substitute bacon for pancetta and regular mozza for bocconcini.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
Disclaimer: Though unlikely, eating undercooked eggs can cause illness.
