Ingredients
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 12 very thin slices pancetta
- 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, optional
- 6 (1/2-inch thick) slices whole-wheat bread
Directions
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Lay the pancetta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy and brown. Drain on paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, Gorgonzola, lemon zest, mayonnaise, and chives. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if using. Spread the mixture evenly over 3 slices of the bread. Crumble the pancetta and sprinkle over the egg mixture. Place the remaining bread slices on top.
Cut the sandwiches in half and arrange on a serving platter.

I really did not care for this at all... The cheese totally overpowered everything else and I only put a few TBS in there... I won't make this again but glad I tried it...

This was interesting. As a vegetarian I left off the pancetta, but I have mixed feelings about the egg salad. I made the recipe exactly as written, but I thought the flavor of the egg got lost in the overwhelming gorgonzola. That being said, it was very good, as I do love gorgonzola. The egg salad became more of a creamy vehicle for the gorgonzola and I would be more likely to call it a gorgonzola salad sandwich. As another reviewer said, it was salty enough, I would skip the salt. I might make it again. and I certainly wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it.

This was pretty good. I served this on sour dough bread with Giada's berry lemonade recipe. It was yummy and my guests all loved it. I did not have any pancetta so I used regular bacon. I liked the lemon zest and I LOVE gorgonzola cheese!!! I will make this again! And I can't wait to taste it with the pancetta vs the regular bacon.
