Ingredients:

  • 6 oz pancetta, diced
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Fresh rosemary leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepping the Pancetta: In a skillet, cook the diced pancetta over medium heat until it’s crispy and golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked pancetta from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  2. Preparing the Muffin Batter: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
  4. Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
  5. Combining the Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  6. Adding the Flavors: Gently fold in the cooked pancetta and grated cheddar cheese, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
  7. Filling the Muffin Tin: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared paper liners in the muffin tin, filling each one about 2/3 full.
  8. Baking: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Garnish: Once the muffins are out of the oven, place a fresh rosemary leaf on the top of each muffin for a burst of aromatic goodness.
  10. Savoring the Savory Symphony: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Phatman’s Pancetta Muffins are the perfect addition to your breakfast spread, offering a unique balance of flavors that’s both comforting and exciting.

Pro Tip: Enjoy these Pancetta Muffins as they are or with a dollop of herb-infused butter for an extra layer of deliciousness. These muffins can also be a delightful addition to brunch gatherings, elevating your morning feast with their savory charm.
