Skillet Tomato Tart
Fresh summer tomatoes, herbs and crumbled goat cheese are nestled inside a rich butter crust in this version of a free-form tart. The gently sloping slides of the Signature Skillet help the tart hold its shape and allow for easier serving at the table. Sprinkling the tomato slices with salt and allowing them to drain is key to removing excess moisture to ensure a crispy-bottomed, not soggy, tart. So be sure not to skip or shortcut this important step.

Olive Oil Skillet Cake with Tangerine Glaze
Our Non-stick Metal Bakeware pans are a given for making flawless cakes, but the superior non-stick of our Toughened Non-stick PRO fry pans are also great for baking. They easily go from stove to oven to table, so you can start this fragrant citrus and olive oil cake on the stove to make the tangy tangerine glaze. Then use the same pan to bake the cake – no greasing of the pan required – and then confidently flip it out of the pan for perfect slices.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops with Tomato Shallot Pan Sauce
Stainless Steel fry pans are the best for browning meats, sautéing vegetables and deglazing. These cooking techniques all add extra depth to a recipe or sauce. Case in point, these pork chops are first seared to perfection, then a quick tomato shallot pan sauce is created in the same pan from the fond (the tasty brown bits). This quick dinner for two would be perfect served with rice, pasta or crusty bread to soak up every bit of the rich pan sauce.

Spiced Glazed Baby Carrots
With a well-balanced combination of sweet-tart flavors, these carrots emerge meltingly tender when sautéd in an enameled cast iron Traditional Skillet. They’re finished with a honey glaze, along with salty, tangy feta and pomegranate seeds for a juicy crunch. It’s a quick vegetable-forward side dish that will become a staple in your weeknight dinner rotation. Look for rainbow carrots to make this dish even more beautiful – if you can’t find baby carrots, simply sub regular carrots and cut into roughly 2-inch batons.

Herb Scrambled Eggs with Ricotta
You might not think about cooking eggs in a Stainless Steel fry pan, but this soft scramble turns out perfectly. Pro tip: use low to medium heat and stir the eggs gently and slowly with a silicone spatula, scraping the eggs from the edges of the pan into the center. The addition of ricotta cheese helps keep the eggs moist, while the fresh herbs brighten the flavor of the dish. Serve over toasted bread for a delicious breakfast any day of the week.
