Fried Eggs Italian-Style

Fried Eggs Italian-Style

A couple of days ago, I finally bought my first Lodge cast iron skillet. So happy!! I kept seeing them all over Pinterest and other food blogs and it felt like everybody else had them but me. Now I have one too!

I was really surprised to find out that Lodge products are available in my country. It is so much quicker and cheaper to purchase them here rather than ordering from US.

However, not everything went perfectly smooth at first. Call me naive but I thought that I will just throw something on the new skillet and it will cook… I was dead wrong. Everything got stuck to it! The almighty Google told me that it was due seasoning problems. I’ve also noticed that I am not the first and the last person experiencing such things.

After a long day of seasoning, washing and cleaning I can proudly say that I did that. Now my skillet is ready for action!

The first recipe I made in this skillet is super tasty fried eggs Italian-style! Why Italian? I found this recipe some time ago in one Italian magazine (sorry, I don’t remember in which one) and since then it’s one of my favorite breakfast dishes. Today I decided to share it with you guys!

Fried Eggs With Vegetables

It looks amazing, isn’t it? I love how tomatoes and red bell pepper form a cross leaving spaces for eggs. The taste is incredible too! Veggies go really well with fried eggs.

You absolutely have to try this one! Of course, I have lots of other great breakfast recipes you may also enjoy.

    Am I missing the ‘baked’ part of the Baked Eggs recipe? Looks like pan fried…which could be just as delicious. Lovely image.

      Thanks for the comment, Franklin. Of course it’s fried, not baked! Sorry for the confusion. 😉
