- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese (not the green can type)

- 1 egg, beaten and mixed with
- 1 tablespoon water
directions
- Chop the pancetta into very small dice and saute in a little olive oil until crispy.

- Stir in the Italian herbs and cook a minute or so longer.
- Combine the onion mixture with the pancetta.

- Roll the bread out into two 8 x 14 inch rectangles on a lightly floured surface.
- Distribute the filling mixture over one of the rectangles.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
DH, DD and DS and I live in the golden hills outside San Jose, about an hour from the coast and Monterey/Carmel. We all love to eat- even the kids are reasonably adventurous. We love to travel- Napa Valley w/o the kids, Lake Tahoe with them.
I have dozens of "favorite" cookbooks (does Recipezaar count?) but I keep coming back to "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan and "The Way to Cook" by the late, great, Julia Child.
When I can, I get together with a couple of friends and make Ukrainian dyed eggs.
