Carbonara Tramezzini
Carbonara Tramezzini
Ingredients
4 slices Pane Turano
4 ounces guanciale, pancetta or good dry-cured bacon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
4 large hard-cooked eggs, shelled, chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed grated pecorino Romano
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, Italian-style, see recipe, or store-bought
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, brown the guanciale until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes, tossing occasionally for even browning. Transfer the guanciale to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.
In a bowl, mix together the guanciale, eggs, grated pecorino Romano, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and a couple of grindings of pepper.
Arrange the bread slices on a cutting board or flat work surface. Spread the remaining mayonnaise on each slice. Divide the egg mixture between two slices, then close the sandwiches with the remaining bread, mayonnaise-side down. Cut both sandwiches in half either lengthwise or on the diagonal to make 4 tramezzini.
