  • 2-3 ounces diced Pancetta
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt or, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast (cut side up) in 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Set aside.
  • Brown pancetta in small skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant.
  • Whisk flour and salt in medium bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs, milk and thyme in separate bowl and then stir in dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
