📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Äggakaka is a regional dish of Skåne in Sweden's far south, an egg-heavy batter baked thick. It's toasty outside and wobbly inside, somewhere between an omelet and a pancake. Salty bacon and sweet-tart lingonberries are the rule alongside it.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a farmhouse kitchen surrounded by Skåne's rapeseed fields, a big egg cake is served in its iron pan and cut into wedges with bacon and jam.
