Prep Time: 5 mins

Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

  • 6

    large eggs

  • 1 tbsp.

    neutral oil

  • 1 oz.

    pancetta, finely chopped

  • 1/3 c.

    mayonnaise

  • 1/4 tsp.

    freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tbsp.

    finely grated Pecorino Romano, plus more for serving

Directions

  1. Fill a medium pot with 1/2" water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Using a spoon or tongs, gently lower in eggs, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Steam eggs, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a simmer, for 12 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl halfway with ice and add cold water to make an ice bath.

  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook pancetta, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a plate. Discard fat or reserve for another use.

  4. Transfer eggs to ice bath. Let cool, then carefully peel. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out egg yolks. Transfer yolks to a medium bowl; reserve egg whites.

  5. To egg yolks, add mayonnaise and pepper. Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold in cheese.

  6. Spoon filling into egg whites or, if desired, transfer filling to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe filling into shells. Top with more cheese and pancetta. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 3 days.
