Clean the cauliflower by removing the leaves and separating the florets.

Add the cauliflower to the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. If the smell bothers you, add a bit of vinegar.

Drain the cauliflower and let it cool in a bowl.

In a bowl, combine the stale bread crumbs, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Add one egg, a pinch of salt, and pepper to the mixture and beat it together.

Dip the cauliflower florets in the egg mixture to coat them well.

Place the coated florets in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Add the pancetta on top of the cauliflower. You can substitute pancetta with prosciutto or speck if preferred.

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C for 25 minutes.

Check for doneness based on your oven's performance.
