This dish makes the perfect breakfast or brunch! The potatoes bake into buttery nuggets of deliciousness that you run into every bite along with the salty and savory pancetta.

This dish is also protein packed and a solid way to start you day. It can be prepared on one day and eaten for a few days following. It reheats in the microwave nicely and makes for a quick breakfast when eating the leftovers.
