Stuffing baked in pancetta cups! The stuffing is slightly adapted from this Pork Sausage Dressing recipe by Hapa Nom Nom. These are fantastic made on the day but even better the day after because the flavours meld together even more. They reheat very well in the oven - both the pancetta and the tops crisp up again in the oven.
