Italian Breakfast Scramble

Italian Breakfast Scramble | Scrambled eggs have never been so good - veggies, pancetta, and proscuitto included!

If you say Italian, I'm sold. If you tell me veggies and meat in scrambled eggs, I'm done for! This is the perfect way to jazz up plain scrambled eggs. I had only had Proscuitto one time prior to having this breakfast dish - but it's very delicious and I love channeling my inner Giada and pronouncing very Italian-like when I'm buying/cooking with it :) AND this scramble has my favorite veggie, zucchini, in it. So it's like all the best things in one recipe and it makes me want to actually eat breakfast.
