We’re not at all ashamed to admit that since we first tried Chef Max Mariola’s Roman Bacon and Eggs, we’ve been enjoying it on repeat. The recipe itself is simple, calling for parmesan cheese, pecorino, crusty bread, heavy cream, eggs, and bacon or guanciale. Although the recipe highly recommends guanciale, we have found that bacon is delicious as well.
First, fry up your bacon, and while that’s cooking, make the sauce using cream, pecorino, and parmesan cheese. Be sure to give the cheese plenty of time to melt into the cream and become one delicious sauce. Be sure to get blocks of cheese and shred it yourself for that perfect melt. Then, once the bacon is done, scoop it out and set it aside for later. Fry up your eggs in the leftover bacon grease. For plating, place the eggs first, cover them with your gooey, melty, cheesy sauce, and top with bacon. We like to toast our bread, which has been coated with butter, and use it to dip into the eggs and cream. Try this once, and you’ll want it in your menu rotation forever.
