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.

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.

This was a very nice change on the usual egg salad. The gorgonzola gives it a good flavor but is a bit salty therefore the next time I will reduce the salt. The lemon was a bit overwhelming and I didn't even use the zest of a whole lemon. I will definity reduce that as well. Overall, I will make again.

My mother wasn't happy that I decided to make this recipe a half hour before we left for a picnic, but once she tasted it she ate almost all 4 servings! Incredibly fresh taste with the lemon. I also substituted parmesan, feta and pecorino instead of gorgonzola. Definitely a favorite!
