Äggakaka | Traditional Egg Dish From Skåne County, Sweden | TasteAtlas

Äggakaka

(Äggakaga, Egg Cake)

Äggakaka is a traditional dish originating from Skåne, where it's spelled a bit differently – äggakaga. It's made with eggs, flour, milk, butter, cornstarch, bacon, chives, and lingonberry preserve. Although the translation boils down to egg cake, it's actually a savory pancake-like dish that's topped with bacon and chives, then served with lingonberry preserve on the side.


It can be eaten hot or cold, for lunch or dinner. In the past, äggakaka was served to field workers who helped with the fall harvest because the dish could be easily packed into a sack, then eaten in the field.
