Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the pancetta for 3 mins until golden and releasing its fat. Add the breadcrumbs, stir through and fry for another 4 mins until crisp and golden, stirring regularly. Spoon into a bowl; set aside.
Melt the butter with the remaining oil in the pan. Add the sprouts, season and fry for 5 mins. Pour over the Elmlea and bubble for a further 2 mins or until the sprouts are just tender. Spoon into a warmed serving dish and top with the pancetta crumbs.

Get ahead: Slice sprouts the day before, cover with damp kitchen paper and store in the fridge.
