Equipment that I used:
- Small Glass Bowls: Whenever fried eggs are part of a recipe, the first thing I do is break them individually into small bowls. That way, they’re ready to go when I need them and I also have the opportunity to fish out pieces of broken shell if I need to.
- 12″ Cast Iron Skillet. The heat-retention and non-stick properties of cast-iron make it a perfect material for grilling, searing, and frying. It’s also a good choice for recipes like this one, because the eggs could be cooked in the same oil and in the same pan as the meats, tying together the flavors in the sandwich and minimizing cleanup.
- Fish Spatula: I used a fish spatula in this recipe because it’s designed to lift and turn delicate foods like the eggs. But it can also handle most other foods, so I could use it for the meats and only have one spatula to clean afterwards.
