The 3-Ingredient Meal Stanley Tucci Makes When He Doesn’t Feel Like Cooking

You might think many celebrities have a private chef that makes them three meals a day. And, for some, like George Clooney and Jane Fonda, you’d be correct. However, actor Stanley Tucci is a true home cook—whipping up recipes from his mom’s cookbook or throwing ingredients into a pot and hoping they taste good together.

Although, there might be some days when Tucci wishes someone was around to cook for him—like after a long trip.

Most of us know what it’s like to return home after a vacation or business trip to very little food in your fridge and a tired body that just wants to rest. Some of us use this time as an excuse to order a delivery pizza or takeout from our favorite restaurant. But, ever the devout home chef, Tucci still rounds up a few ingredients and makes himself a meal.

A lazy meal, but a meal nonetheless.

Stanley Tucci's Lazy 3-Ingredient Meal

In his memoir “What I Ate in One Year: (and Related Thoughts),” Tucci details a day in April when he returned to his home in London on a red-eye flight from New York City, where he was doing press for his Amazon Prime Video show “Citadel.” Having not eaten on the flight, “except a sleeping pill,” he writes, he returned home in the morning hungry—yet still tired from the pill “that it had not completely fulfilled its mission.”

So, he whipped up a quick meal using just three ingredients.

“I scrambled some eggs, fried up some prosciutto cotto (cooked sliced Italian ham), [and] slapped it all between two pieces of lightly toasted white bread from the 1950s-era bakery around the corner,” Tucci writes. “[I] wolfed it down, and then collapsed into bed for longer than I had anticipated."

We know that Tucci typically adds mushrooms, spinach, and cheese to his scrambled eggs. But when cooking is the one thing keeping him from hitting the hay, slapping eggs and salty, Italian-cooked ham on some white bread makes it the easiest breakfast sandwich ever.

Of course, we can’t always have fresh eggs, ham, and bread on hand when we come back from a trip—however, you don’t have to be returning from a long-haul flight to give Tucci’s easy, lazy breakfast a try.
