How to Make Italian Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 4 ounces of diced pancetta until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 6-7 minutes, until tender.
  4. Return the cooked pancetta to the skillet.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add the pancetta and vegetable mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold to combine.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled 13x9 inch baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Serve immediately with warm focaccia.
