  1. In a skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-high until crispy. Place on a paper towel and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the rack in the centre of the oven.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil. Add the milk.

  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the mixture into silicone muffin moulds or greased and floured muffin pans.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean. Serve warm with butter. Can be reheated in the microwave or conventional oven.
