Ingredients

  • 4 oz . pancetta , cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or half and half
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste), plus black pepper

Instructions

  • Adjust the oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 400° F.
  • In a 10-inch oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta, and cook stirring occasionally until golden and crispy. With a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, lightly beat the eggs with the heavy cream, parsley, sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the pancetta back to the skillet, stir in the peas, then spread the ingredients out evenly in the pan with a spatula. Pour the egg mixture over it and without stirring, cook until the edges have started to set, between 1-3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the center has just set, about 10-12 minutes.
  • If using a non-stick skillet, slide or invert gently onto a large plate, let cool for a few minutes, then serve. If using cast iron, just cut and serve slices directly from the pan.
