Baked Eggs with Ricotta, Guanciale, and Peas

The Baked Eggs with Ricotta, Guanciale, and Peas are a fun alternative to the traditional Easter lunch. I really like eggs, so I’m always finding new ways to cook them. The recipe I’m proposing today came about by looking for ingredients in the fridge. I put them together, and here’s what came out: a truly delicious dish. If you want to add a touch of crispiness, serve them with toasted bread… it goes really well! If you prefer, you can also serve them for breakfast, accompanied by a good glass of orange juice.
