- Substitute regular bacon or ham for the pancetta and use whole wheat bread in place of Italian bread. Feel free to use one type of cheese instead of a blend.

I added 3 eggs, a 1/2 cup of milk and used a mixture of challah and brioche instead of the Italian bread. Was a hit at a Thanksgiving brunch,

I made this with sweet Italian sausage and it was a huge hit!! I used sausage as pancetta would have been too expensive, as I made it for 100 people. It was amazing!!
