I have a recipe for a pancetta and onion quiche that I thought I would make for brunch tomorrow. Unfortunately, my regular grocery store does not carry pancetta. I've never had it before, so not sure how different it is from bacon? I don't want to make another trip out to another grocery store to try to find out, so can I do a direct substitution of bacon? (I would assume that would be closer than ham, as I have ham also...) If I substitute bacon, should I make any other adjustments in the recipe?

Carol, I don't agree with the other poster. My local Publix has pancetta in the deli case. Just ask for a slab, about a 1/2 inch thick and dice it up. Tastes different. Not as salty as american bacon and not smoked of course. Try it. You will love it. Just ask Publix deli case. Email me for more recipes. I love Pasta with Pancetta and peas. Great! Cheers irina

Irina--I'm sure they would have had it at Publix, but I didn't want to make another trip! The quiche is in the oven now. We'll see how it turns out!
The original recipe did not call for any salt or pepper, so I didn't add any. I think maybe I should have at least added pepper? We'll see..

Carol, in a pinch, you can also use Prosuttio to substitute for panchetta... granted, it's different, but still salt cured as opposed to smoke cured... but, blanched bacon will also work well...
